Strengths of the EMBA programme

1 You can immediately utilize what you have learned
The studies combine both theory and practice – you will get ideas and visions that can be taken to practice right away. Diverse, activating study modes help you to apply things you have learned directly to your daily duties. All development assignments and projects will be closely connected to your own organisation.

2 You can study flexibly
You study alongside work and the study schedule will adapt to your work and personal life. You can include modules that are most important to you in your personal curriculum – you decide the topics, which you want to devote your time to. Studies also adapt to unexpected situations; you can flexibly update your study plan regarding both content and schedules throughout your studies. It is possible to complete the programme in two years but you have five years' time to do it, if needed.
