The Executive MBA Programme has been designed to meet the participants’ needs. It is a part-time management programme that inspires you to access the latest thinking within management – and then challenges you to consolidate and apply these insights to your daily work.

As an Executive MBA participant you must be educated to an appropriate academic standard and have significant managerial experience in either the private or public sector. You aspire to progress your career and are prepared to make a significant investment in achieving this qualification. You hold a responsible senior position and intend to continue working, while attending the programme.

Recent participants have originated from a wide range of educational and professional backgrounds, such as law, engineering, economics, architecture, and social sciences. We know the programme to benefit from having a heterogeneous group composition because by having participants from all walks of life, different perspectives on problems are highlighted in the class room.

There are several good reasons to choose an Executive MBA from the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg:

• Our Executive MBA Programme is delivered by a broad international faculty,
• The learning process is adapted to the needs of managers in demanding positions,
• The Programme includes two separate one-week residencies at our partner Universities; the Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China and the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, India.
• Furthermore, our Executive MBA Programme awards you an academic degree equivalent to 60 ECTS.

In a spirit of openness to a globalising world, our Executive MBA programme includes two separate overseas modules at our partner universities in China and India

As a participant to our Executive MBA programme you will travel to Asia with intensive fulltime schedules. During a residency, you typically spend mornings on campus with academic workshops lead by the local faculty. Afternoons are devoted to well-prepared field trips to multinational and local companies and organisations. Evenings are used for debriefing and reflection.

By combining the learning from the academic workshops with the experiential learning from the field trips, you will acquire a truly global perspective to undertaking business with Asia. Even if your organisation does not actively undertake business with Asia today, the developments in these markets will certainly affect you and your organization indirectly.

All applicants are expected to have an undergraduate degree equivalent to 180 ECTS (120 p). Admission to the programme is based primarily on your professional development after obtaining your undergraduate degree. The more successful that you have been in your career and professional development, the higher priority you will get in the admission process.

A minimum of three years of relevant professional experience is required. In recent years, however, successful applicants have had more than five years of professional experience.
