About Executive MBA

Program objectives

A new opportunity.

Additional session within the MBA Consortium framework. A unique opportunity to implement a part of the program abroad at top universities around the world - in USA (Silicon Valley), Japan, Peru, Brazil or South Africa.

The goal of the program. We wish to provide you with a holistic perspective on the most important managerial problems. Handling tactical and strategic decisions made at the executive level, monitoring performance and taking remedial action, addressing the changes taking place in the business environment, negotiating pivotal deals, designing flexible and efficient communication systems – all these responsibilities require diligence, technical proficiency, and emotional intelligence. Our Executive MBA is focused in particular on helping you grow as a leader and change your mindset. We place a big emphasis on the development of your leadership potential. This program aims at assisting you in challenging yourself in multiple dimensions and – as a result – helping you engineer smarter solutions for sustainable value creation.

What makes us different.

The passionate teachers, who in addition to theory also have business experience, systematized my knowledge and opened up more areas that I should explore. My EMBA group turned out to be extremely harmonious and inspiring. I consider the 18 months of MBA studies to be one of the best investments in my career.
