EMBA-Global
Global reachThe EMBA-Global programme has two streams. EMBA-Global Americas and Europe is offered in London and New York by London Business School and Columbia Business School. EMBA-Global Asia extends EMBA-Global’s reach to Hong Kong and Shanghai, with the addition of The University of Hong Kong to the partnership.
Global perspectivesThe content and delivery of EMBA-Global means that the programme is truly worldwide and significantly different from other top Executive MBA programmes. Taught by internationally renowned faculty, students benefit from unique insights and gain a truly international perspective. Each school takes advantage of its location to draw upon the surrounding business communities, attracting distinguished guest speakers and business leaders.
Global formatThe programme format is designed to allow students to balance their academic commitments with demanding careers and busy personal lives. In part one, core classes are taught in four or five-day concentrated teaching periods alternating monthly between campuses. This allows students to fully immerse themselves in the learning and networking opportunities of the host city. In part two, EMBA-Global students have access to the electives of all three schools, enabling them to customise their learning to their interests and organisational goals.
Global networkThe EMBA-Global programme gives global business leaders a unique opportunity to learn with and from an extraordinarily high calibre and diverse cohort. Both EMBA-Global streams include a diverse range of nationalities, industries and cultures, enabling all participants to develop a broader global perspective and foster professional relationships and networks around the world.
