Global Executive MBA

The Global Executive MBA is a comprehensive twelve-month program designed for working executives and managers: two Saturdays a month on campus, two evenings a week online, without leaving your position. The thesis focuses on your own company: it is not an academic exercise, but a strategic project applied to your organization, supervised by a thesis advisor and defended before a panel of executives. The return on investment begins before graduation.

Programme objectives

  • Offer working executives and managers a comprehensive twelve-month program, without interrupting their careers;
  • Refresh and update general management knowledge through a common core of seven blocks (54 ECTS);
  • Deepen expertise in one specialization chosen from five, concluding with a sector-specific capstone applied to your industry (18 ECTS);
  • Deliver immediate value: every module can be applied in your company as early as Monday, and the thesis addresses a genuine strategic issue facing your organization (18 ECTS).

Highlights

  • The cohort: executives and managers from different sectors, facing the same challenges you do. Cases are discussed among peers, not among students;
  • Shared learning: the common core is taken alongside all five Master 2 programs, extending your network to the business community's future executives, even before they take up their positions;
  • Immediate impact: every module can be applied in your company as early as Monday. The thesis, meanwhile, addresses a genuine strategic issue facing your organization;
  • A dual degree upon completion: the MBA awarded through the ESG Paris partnership, and the UFRA Master's degree accredited by the MESRS, corresponding to your specialization;
  • Funding by your employer or through the FDFP: this is the most common path for a working executive. We provide the documents needed for the application.
