Curriculum
Educational Model
The EU-accredited (European Union) and globally recognized MBA can be completed in 12-18 months. We use the top modern business learning model with both synchronous and asynchronous sessions and give you access not only to all areas of a traditional MBA (leadership, strategy, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, digital business, etc.) but also to practical and hands-on business knowledge required in your workplace to help you distinguish from the rest of executives and MBA graduates. We are also excited to have integrated into our Real-World Skills MBA, courses from world-leading business schools such as HARVARD University, Columbia University, Imperial College London, Indiana University, RWTH Aachen AND LEARNERS RECEIVE CERTIFICATES AFTER COURSE COMPLETIONS FROM THESE WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES.
The MBA is comprised of 15 compulsory business courses (self-paced and live) and a Management Report (Capstone Project). Each module lasts between eight to twelve weeks, depending on each course. The Real-World Leadership Skills and Strategy Safari courses take place over the entire MBA length. The Management Report’s length is 6 months. In addition, diverse exercises and activities take place which are not assessed, they rather help students engage with the MBA and increase their learning and application curve.
During the business courses students delve into each topic and deepen their knowledge through a variety of modern tools such as live sessions, recorded videos, state-of-the-art case studies, group projects, chats, and many more important tools. Thus students are given enough time to complete the course, with the flexibility to study at times that best suit their personal and professional lives.
Students receive support from ZEBS tutors, also for the courses’ assessments.
