Awarded a British Degree Recognised Internationally

Earning a British degree signals to employers across the world that you have completed a rigorous, standards-driven qualification grounded in critical thinking and strategic leadership. This recognition opens doors regionally and globally, giving you the credibility to lead across borders and to contribute at senior levels where international perspectives are essential.

Because the degree is awarded by a UK university, your achievement is instantly legible to multinational employers, family businesses with global supply chains, non-profits, and public sector organisations alike. It reflects an academic tradition admired for its intellectual depth, independent inquiry, and practical orientation—qualities that translate directly into executive capability.

If you’re ready to move fast, you can complete the full programme in as little as one year—without compromising the depth and quality expected of an advanced management degree. The learning journey is structured to help you build knowledge rapidly, integrate it with your experience, and convert it into lasting professional value.

No Fixed Class Times—Your Schedule, Your Pace

Leadership requires agility, and your learning should, too. The programme does not require online presence at specific times and dates, giving you the freedom to study when you are most focused—early mornings, late evenings, or weekends—whatever fits your rhythm.

This flexibility allows you to maintain performance at work, stay present for family and community, and still make consistent progress toward an executive qualification. With 24/7 access to resources, you are firmly in control of your study plan.

Study Anywhere—Even Offline with Our Mobile App

Whether you’re commuting along Lake Geneva, traveling for work, or carving out quiet time at home, the programme meets you where you are. You can study from anywhere in the world, and our mobile app supports on-the-move learning with the ability to download study materials and watch lectures offline.

This digital-first design turns waiting time into learning time. Review a case study on a train, refine an assignment on a flight, or revisit a lecture while offline. Your learning remains continuous and convenient—without compromising quality.

Open-Book, Applied Assessments

Real executives don’t solve complex problems from memory—they find, evaluate, and apply the best available information. Our open-book assessments mirror that reality. Instead of classical question/answer exams, you will work on application-focused tasks that reward analysis, judgment, and clarity of thought.

This approach encourages you to engage critically with readings, frameworks, and data sources, then synthesise them into persuasive recommendations. It builds the exact skills that senior roles demand: structured thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and the ability to communicate with impact.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Renowned Universities

Your tutors and faculty bring both academic excellence and practical experience to the classroom. Many have graduated from leading institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They know what executive rigor looks like—and how to translate it into actionable learning.

Guided by this expertise, you will explore current research, industry cases, and proven tools in strategy, leadership, operations, finance, and innovation. The result is a high-impact learning environment that challenges you to think bigger and execute better.

A Diverse Global Cohort and Powerful Alumni Outcomes

Join a student community representing over 130 countries and a wide mix of industries, functions, and career stages. This diversity deepens discussion, enriches case analysis, and sharpens your ability to lead across cultures and contexts. You will graduate with a global network that continues to create value long after your degree.

Our alumni work for international organisations like Nestle, DHL, Luis Vuiton, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, Credit Suisse, Universite de Lausanne, UBS, Chubb, Zurich, Novartis, Roche, International School of Central Switzerland, institut monte rosa, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.

Flexible Payments in Up to 18 Monthly Interest-Free Instalments

Investing in your executive education should be manageable and predictable. To help you plan with confidence, our fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments—keeping your cash flow steady while you advance.

This structure allows you to align tuition with your income, avoid large upfront payments, and focus on the learning experience itself. It’s a practical approach for busy professionals who value both excellence and financial clarity.
