International Executive MBA HSG

Core Courses
In order to succeed in the dynamic economic environment, executives require not only comprehensive knowledge of general management but also the skills and vision to rise to the challenges of the contemporary business world. The EMBA HSG core courses provide this foundation, covering subjects such as Business Transformation, Strategy, Finance, Sustainability, Economics and Marketing. To complement the on-campus sessions, participants study remotely by means of state-of-the-art e-learning tools, group assignments, business projects and essays.

Elective Courses
Participants have the opportunity to individualise their learning journey by taking electives in areas of particular personal interest. A wide variety of electives, all designed specifically to complement the EMBA HSG core curriculum and reflect participants’ development goals, allow participants to deepen their knowledge or widen their perspective.

Thesis
To complete their studies, EMBA HSG participants are required to write a thesis in which they demonstrate their indepth knowledge of a concrete General Management topic and mastery of the application of scientific methodology and academic working techniques. The thesis allows participants to develop competencies as integrative problem solvers, being able to identify and critically analyse unstructured, complex and ambiguous management challenges faced by their organisation.

Personal Development Programme (PDP)
In a VUCA environment, sustainable success cannot be achieved through business knowledge alone: a mastery of soft skills and interpersonal and intercultural skills are also vital. We offer many impulses for personal development over the entire length of the programme. The aim of the PDP is to prepare the participants mentally and physically for their future leadership roles. The PDP offers a career coaching programme and vitality management.
The structured career development programme gives access to experts and specialists, who are capable of providing individual assessment and training to support participants in defining and achieving their career goals.
