The Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI) of the University of Strasbourg is pleased to announce the signing of an international cooperation agreement with the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management (Germany) to award a double degree: a Master of Intellectual Property Law and Management (MIPLM) from the University of Strasbourg, CEIPI, and a Master of Business Administration, with a specialization in intellectual Property Management (MBA), from the HHL.
Since it was founded in 1898 as Germany’s first business school, the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management (HHL) has provided top-level management training. HHL was the first private business school in the German-speaking region to be accredited by AACSB International.
HHL offers a part-time MBA program tailored to highly motivated professionals and executives with initial professional experience. The program has a strong international focus and uses an innovative and integrated approach to develop leadership and management skills.
Under the leadership of Prof. Alexander WURZER, Head of studies of the MIPLM program, the CEIPI and the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management have established a collaboration to expand the educational activities of both partners in the field of intellectual property management, by combining the existing MIPLM program with HHL’s part-time MBA program, allowing students to obtain an MBA degree with a specialization in intellectual property management.
The signing of the agreement took place on 19 June 2025 in Strasbourg, in the presence of Prof. Kelvin W. WILLOUGHBY, Professor & Chairholder Stiftungsfonds Deutsche Bank Chair of Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship, the scientific coordinator of the MBA, Ms Omolade ADEYEMI, Research Assistant for the MBA program at HHL, Mr. Yann BASIRE, Director General of CEIPI and members of the CEIPI management team, in particular Mr. Thibaud LELONG, Head of teaching of MIPLM courses and Ms Julie DAGHER, Research Assistant at CEIPI.
