Where you learn is your choice. Study from home, the office, a coffee shop—or on the move. Our mobile app lets you download the study material and watch the lectures offline, making it easier to sustain progress when you’re commuting, traveling, or between meetings.

The platform is fast, intuitive, and responsive across devices, so you can read, watch, reflect, and contribute from virtually anywhere in the world. Your classroom goes where you go.

Real-World Assessments, Not Memory Tests

We use open books assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. You will apply concepts to realistic scenarios, synthesize research, and defend recommendations—just like you would in a board meeting or client presentation.

Open-book, application-driven work rewards critical thinking and structured problem-solving. It builds confidence and capability you can demonstrate immediately at work, while also developing a professional portfolio of outputs.

Learn from Accomplished Faculty

Guidance matters. Our tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities like Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring academic strength, practical experience, and a commitment to your success.

Expect timely feedback, thoughtful challenge, and mentorship from educators who have walked the path—mixing scholarship with business practice to help you sharpen judgment, broaden perspective, and elevate your leadership.

Join a Diverse Global Network

Study alongside professionals from over 130 countries. The diversity of your cohort expands your worldview, deepens discussion, and builds a network that stretches across sectors and continents. It’s an environment where you learn as much from peers as you do from lecturers.

Our alumni work for international organisations like DHL, Luis Vuiton, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Nestle, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.
