Are you ready to join the family business?

You already studied, but you don’t feel ready and equipped to join the family business yet? You collected work experience, but haven’t had the time to reflect it? You want to study once again, but only in a circle of family entrepreneurs? 


Our part-time master degree trains and educates the next generation of family entrepreneurs, family officers and people close to family businesses.

"The eMA FESH provided me with very comprehensive and focused information and made my entry into the family business possible in the first place."

Helen Hodeige | eMA FESH Alumna

As Europe's number one part-time Master degree for family entrepreneurship, our study program is geared towards successors, partners, and future executives in family businesses who would like to understand the special business administration of family enterprises. This is done through a combination of theoretical basics and practical trials between the blocks of study.


As a private college, Zeppelin University is itself an entrepreneurial university which is aware that, in educating family business members, we have a special responsibility for the borrowed inheritance of the next generation.
The eMA FESH builds on the scientific expertise of the Friedrichshafen Institute of Family Entrepreneurship | FIF at ZU. This close connection to academic research benefits the students in practice - and this, in turn, benefits science. In addition, sponsors support the further development of the student program. This reciprocal relationship between practice, research and expertise provides a fertile basis for a lively exchange of ideas, consistent development and a successful start to a career in a family business or family office.
