We discussed many practical examples and case studies, including problem-solving strategies, which I found very helpful. Shortly after graduating, my then boss offered me the position of general manager, saying that, along with other factors, the Global Executive MBA had played a crucially important role in his decision.

  • FAQ

    • How can managers with 50-60 hours working time manage the program?

      Although our Global Executive MBA is challenging, it is designed for working executives. That's why students can access our online forums from their smartphones or tablets, giving them the flexibility to manage their workloads on the go, whether they're on their way to work, on a lunch break, or traveling around the world.

    • How are students evaluated during the MBA?

      • Participation in class: Students are continuously evaluated during classroom discussions and video conferences. Every contribution, whether written or spoken, is taken into account.
      • Individual assignments: Students are asked to participate in quiz questions, individual assignments or evaluated homework.
      • Group assignments: As part of a small team, students must prepare presentations, research papers or papers that will all be evaluated.

After working for many years as an entrepreneur and venture builder, I embarked on my Global EMBA journey. The international residencies, the modules, my peers in the classroom – all of that allowed me to extend my knowledge on doing business on a global scale not only from a start-up, but a corporate perspective. My strong legal background and my broadened perspective on global business enabled my next great career move as a leader in international consulting.
