Executive MBA is an accelerator for leader development and company growth.
This is a unique programme that connects the best practitioners and the best regional lecturers, and provides the students with a possibility to discuss and share experiences with the owners as well as top leaders of other companies. International lecturers and top-level practitioners provide their insight on modern managerial approaches.
The main task of Executive MBA is forming leaders’ capabilities and practical development of companies. The study has been connected with solving business case-studies. The alumni have proven in practice that by the end of the programme their companies have made a leap of development and they themselves have become more capable leaders.

The biggest value of the course is practicality – with the help of different lecturers, study cycles and home assignments you dismantle and analyse the development of your company. Including the things you knew about, but didn’t have time to deal with in real life.
