GLOBAL EXECUTIVE MBA
Milan, April 30th 2009 – Starting from March 2010, the newly-designed, 20-month edition of the SDA Bocconi Global Executive MBA will take place.
The GEMBA offers a mapped and focused curriculum that runs at an appropriate rate in order to give a practical insight within two years along with complementing professional life. The Program appeals to individuals who are key actors of the decision-making process within their respective firms. Students harness their analytical abilities by combining course assignments with day-by-day work experience.
During the 20-month program, you will attend 8 highly concentrated one-week modules + 2 ten-day modules (the first of each year) delivered every other month. This is a format that minimizes time away from work and rigorously maximizes in-class learning, while blending it with distance learning. Two modules are conducted at two partner schools: UCLA Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles and Fudan University in Shanghai.
The Global Executive MBA is divided in two parts:
