LEARN. DEVELOP. LEAD. 

Power-up your career with immediate impact

The design of our EMBA programme allows you to make an impact quickly. EMBA graduates become invaluable assets to their organisation - and often make a dramatic, lasting impact thanks to the wide-ranging skillsets they have developed during their time with us.
Our all-round education covers everything from marketing, digitalisation, innovation and sustainability, to accounting and economics, not to mention real world assignments which encourage you to chose genuine organisational challenges on which to practice your new-found skills. As you grow with the programme, so do the business tools in your arsenal. And each time you head back to 'base', you will feel more confident about the innovative leader you are becoming.

Two key outcomes from the EMBA programme at CBS are the development of my business analysis and strategy toolbox and the diverse network of professionals. Combined with my technical engineering degree, the EMBA has given me an understanding of a business as a whole.

Scandinavian excellence

How we do business

Scandinavian businesses are renowned across the globe for their management style and culture. They deliver creativity, innovation and growth in a world that is increasingly fast-paced and data-driven. They consider the impact of business on society and on its people to be as important as profits. They seek out and thrive in diversity, unlocking the added potential it brings to teams and organisations.
CBS is founded on these values and our executive education is about more than just career acceleration. It is about inspiration, collaboration and building sustainable business practices now and for the future. EMBA participants learn how to tangibly approach sustainability and drive innovation within their roles and organisations.

Intimate and interactive

The Scandinavian way is also part of what defines the classroom interaction and teaching environment of the Executive MBA. CBS EMBA students will be part of an intimate learning environment with robust and open discussions. Professors become facilitators, guiding the conversation to encourage broad participation and interaction. This close network becomes your peers and your inspiration to support you through the learning journey.

Lifelong Learning

Applying a Scandinavian approach to business means that leaders never stop learning, growing, and trying new things. We believe in a flat management structure and a culture of trust and empowerment because not only does it work, we thrive.

I thought this education could help me to strengthen some aspects that were not part of my background and foundation. I have a PhD and my background is in chemistry and catalysis, so I’ve felt that I needed to round out my business knowledge, especially being in a leadership role.
