The Executive Certificate Path is often considered as the alternative to the EMBA in one go if you feel that you cannot commit to two years of continuous study that the EMBA in one go requires. But if you still want to pursue ambitious and accredited studies at masters level with highly vetted executives, then the Executive Certificates is a flexible alternative with ample opportunity to opt out if your circumstances change. You can choose from two annual start dates in May and September, you can also set the pace that best suits you; complete the programme either within a cohort over two years or via four freestanding certificates across two to five years. In order to earn your Executive MBA degree, you would need to complete all four Executive Certificates within five years.
We have designed the CBS EMBA programme to fit around your busy lifestyle and the demands of business in a dynamic and unpredictable globalized market.
This is a flexible programme
Taking an Executive Certificate or maybe even the full portfolio over time will result in 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.
In May you can enroll in the Executive Certificate in your chosen Concentration: Digitalisation, Entrepreneurship or Governance & Sustainability. This four-month term will give you the tools to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamentals governing organisational behaviour.
Executive Certificate in General Management (Term 1)
Executive Certificate in Exploring Business Potentials (Term 2)
Personalise Your EMBA - Executive Certificate in Your Selected Concentration
Managing Strategic Execution & Thesis (Term 3)
At CBS we offer you a modular option to your Executive MBA. But work your way through them all and you will receive your Executive MBA degree alongside your peers. Upon completing the last Certificate, Managing Strategic Execution, you will earn the CBS Executive MBA degree.
Successful completion of the 3 certificates and the strategy term and Thesis, enables participants to become members of the CBS MBA alumni community. Within this community, participants become a part of an international network of senior peer directors, who stay connected with CBS and our faculty for continuous exchange on research and best practice.
