At CBS we offer you a modular option to your Executive MBA. Each Executive Certificate stands alone as a business qualification, meaning you will find value in studying them individually. But work your way through them all and you will receive your Executive MBA degree alongside your peers. Upon completing the last term, Managing Strategic Execution, you will earn the CBS Executive MBA degree.
A step-wise approach to your EMBA
We understand that executives have demanding lives with competing priorities. The CBS EMBA is designed with this in mind, to fit around your busy lifestyle and the business demands of a dynamic and unpredictable globalized market. Not only can you choose from two annual start dates in May or September, you can also set the pace that best suits you. Complete the programme within a cohort over two years or via four freestanding certificates over two to five years.
The Executive Certificate Path
CBS is unique in offering each term of the EMBA as a separate Executive Certificate as an alternative to the Executive MBA in one go. Professionals who are not able to commit to the full Executive MBA can opt to take each term as a freestanding Executive Certificate. Each Certificate lasts between 2-9 months with monthly modules lasting 4-7 days, and you can then decide if or when to sign up for the next certificate.
The Executive Certificate Path gives you the freedom to complete the full EMBA at a pace that suits you, while also providing the flexibility to opt out if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to continue your studies.
Whichever path you choose, the results will be the same: a world-class teaching experience in an intimate setting where the focus is on combining your personal development with the development of your workplace. You will become a confident multi-faceted leader, able to thrive across many different fields and equipped for a volatile and uncertain global economy. Our application process and stringent admission criteria remain the same whether you apply for the Executive Certificate Path or the EMBA in one go.

“I've gained a lot of great knowledge to bring along to my company after the programme. Every time I learnt something new, I brought it back and we discussed implementing it into the strategy.”
