They are arranged in three tiers – foundation function, and integration – to provide a foundation for further study in chosen areas.

Executive MBA program:

The Kellogg–HKUST Executive MBA program is a premium educational experience devoted to upgrading executives’ knowledge and management skills. The program encourages participants to think differently, look at their operations in a new way and relentlessly question and challenge.

It is tailor made for senior executives in Asia who have attained positions of leadership in their organizations. It helps them to raise the bar and understand the challenges ahead in a global context.

Organized in short but intensive modules, participants take two courses each month. Courses cut across traditional subject areas, providing tools and techniques for solving complex managerial problems. Emphasis is on three specific areas of management skills:

• Behavior in learning organizations
• International management
• Managing groups of co-operating firms for international competitiveness

International Executive MBA Program:

The International EMBA (IEMBA) program offered by the HKUST Business School, attracts senior executives from Asia, in particular the Greater China area, who, with diverse cultural background and in-depth knowledge of their own unique business environments, exchange their views on topics of common interest while learning from the School’s internationally recognized scholars.

The 15-month IEMBA program’s classes take place in different locations in China, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan and Shenzhen. It is an inspiring and exciting learning experience that will empower senior executives in Chinese firms or MNCs, with state-of-the-art business and management knowledge that has immediate applications at work.

If you are a senior corporate leader, ready for challenge and on the move to the next level, then the HKUST IEMBA Program will be your best and ultimate choice.

M.Sc in Management:

Four specialized masters’ programs are offered by the School. They are the:
MSc in Economics
MSc in Financial Analysis, Investment Management
MSc in Information Systems Management
MS in Global Finance – in partnership with the NYU Stern School of Business

Ph.D in Management:

The PhD programs are designed to enable students to gain a deep knowledge of management in general, and courses with concentration in a specialized field, and to provide opportunities for the student to do original, fundamental research in his/her specialized field. Thus, the first two years of the programs will normally be devoted to coursework, leading to the major field examination and a research paper. After that, the student will begin to write the thesis.

Each doctoral student works with an academic advisor to design a program of study that reflects the student’s interests. Course work requirements depend on the background and areas of concentration of the student. The student must also pass a qualifying examination, then write and orally defend a thesis.

Goizueta Business School will be regarded as a thought leader, creating and disseminating knowledge at the cutting edge of management practice and developing principled leaders for global enterprise who drive performance and value creation.
In the current increasingly global business environment, people and their ability to reason, innovate and lead are an organization’s only real sustainable value. Leaders must also possess a strong sense of ethics as well as an awareness of how to approach business challenges across continents and cultures

At Goizueta, their unique approach to leadership development combines the study of business with the study of self. Their curriculum is designed to help students build those capabilities, and the size of their intimate community promotes an environment with opportunities to exercise leadership on a daily basis.

Their faculty weaves global business practices into all coursework, adding a global perspective to each and every class. At Goizueta, we aim to develop principled leaders for global enterprise.

• Evening MBA
• Executive MBA
• Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)


Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program:

As one of the most highly regarded undergraduate business programs in the world, we are dedicated to training principled leaders who will have a meaningful impact within organizations and eventually, on society as a whole.

ESADE, founded in 1958, is an institution whose main activities of education, research and social debate take place on three campuses: Barcelona, Madrid and Buenos Aires.
ESADE aims to educate individuals with a high level of professional competence, aware of their responsibilities as national and global citizens, sensitive to issues of solidarity and social justice and able to engage in collective projects. To that end ESADE is involved in promoting ‘human qualities’: a combination of knowledge, judgment, balance and depth that generates confident, consistent, reliable citizens capable of living fundamental values.
Being part of a university institution such as ESADE should involve an attitude of commitment to its Mission: a commitment that is expressed in the values governing their daily coexistence and academic activity. Those who share these values make up their community.

Programs offered:
1) MBA Programmes
2) Executive Education
3) Executive Masters
4) MSc in Management
5) PhD in Management

MBA Programmes:
Full Time MBA Programme:
The Full Time MBA programs focus on a broad international approach to train managers, enabling you to manage complex business situations in all kinds of organizations. Their programs place a strong emphasis on enriching managerial skills and a clearly international outlook; you’ll develop strong decision-making skills, an excellent capacity for teamwork and a global perspective. You will come away with a fundamental set of values and a deep sense of social responsibility.
The ESADE MBA is designed so that you can develop management know-how as well as those managerial skills that will be most useful to you in the future. From the very first day, you meet your career advisors and coaches to create a plan based on personal and professional objectives.
The Full-Time MBA reveals business realities in a very practical way. Only a multidisciplinary approach (as opposed to traditional teaching in compartmentalized subjects) can reflect the real business world. The programme is structured in 5 stages and combines core courses with electives, thus ensuring the MBA meets the individual needs of each student.

http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/18month_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG


Part Time MBA Programme:
The Part Time MBA programme is a decisive step forward in a student’s career, posing new challenges and opening up exciting opportunities.
The Part Time MBA spurs students’ personal development and careers. It also provides management training that gives a global, integrated vision of companies and fosters new business initiatives. One of the features of the programme is the way each student sets his own objectives and limits.
The Part Time MBA is a programme that strikes the right balance between theory and practice, and reflects the complexity of modern management. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted and covers all the functional areas found in companies. The specific training needs of each student are covered at the specialization stage, with over 100 elective courses to choose from.

http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/part_time_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG


One Year MBA Programme:
The ESADE MBA offers to participants with significant work experience, undergraduate degree in Business or Economics, or degree in Engineering combined with business experience, an accelerated management programme. With an emphasis on team work, the One Year MBA takes students through each step of the business cycle while using innovation, strategy and entrepreneurial thinking as a tool for competitive advantage.
The One Year MBA consists of 12 intensive months divided in 5 terms with continuous Spanish language training. The LEAD programme delivers a personalized session to outline your professional skills development plan according to your objectives.

http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/one_year_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG

Executive Education:
Global Executive MBA Program:
The Georgetown-ESADE Global Executive MBA program mirrors the complexity of the global business environment by integrating and packaging multi-disciplinary information within modules; incorporating participants’ diversity of experience into classroom discussions; using residencies as opportunities to extend and apply new skills and capabilities; and incorporating international perspectives in every aspect of the program.

http://www.globalexecmba.com/courseStructure.html

Executive MBA:
The knowledge and practical experience gained on the Executive MBA program enhance your value to the company and its clients, allowing you to take on the challenges and responsibilities found in senior management.
The Executive MBA helps develop key abilities – leadership, communication, creativity, enhanced management style, intellectual rigor, and motivation of staff.
The program comprises five stages, avoiding the traditional approach based on “courses” and “management functions”. Instead, an integrated approach is used to tackle problems and the most suitable choices made in the light of the company’s circumstances.
The business world is a complex one, hence the need for various perspectives when seeking solutions. They strike the right balance between techniques and disciplines, and the practical application of concepts. Each stage of the program includes intensive week to cover a key management and personal development theme. Three of these are held outside ESADE. Two of them are study tours at top business schools in the USA and UK. The third week is dedicated to Outdoor Training activities.

Open Programs:

Custom Programs:
Standard programs cannot always fulfill training requirements. And companies are sometimes faced with the challenge of training not just a few individuals but entire teams. The situation can be further complicated when both these circumstances occur simultaneously.
ESADE Business School Executive Education offers organizations two comprehensive solutions to resolve this problem. Leadership Development Programs (LDP) are totally personalized, designed, and executed in close collaboration with the company and oriented toward building skills. In-Company Training (ICT), are programs with a company-focused approach, primarily centered on building knowledge specific to the organization.
Their main objective is to develop long-term relationships with organizations. To this end, ESADE Executive Education does not simply provide services and information, but works as a partner, advising companies on how to meet their training needs within their business environment and based on the organization’s global vision.

http://www.esade.edu/exed/programas_a_medida

Executive Masters Programs:
The programme is a major intellectual challenge and has been drawn up by the renowned ESADE Business School. Their aim is to enhance programme participants’ skills, and furnish students with the cutting edge techniques, tools and knowledge needed today in the marketing field. ESADE’s highly qualified faculty team are a key factor in ensuring that the programme gives a strong boost to participants’ careers. Accepting this challenge means embarking on personal and professional growth and rising to new life challenges.

http://www.esade.edu/bs/executive_masters/economico_financiera/programa?lang=ENG

Executive Masters in Marketing:
You are a marketing manager or a sales manager with ample years of work experience; you graduated some years ago and you think the time has come to fast-forward your competences and skills. Too busy accumulating significant experience in managing marketing and sales activities, you did not have the time to critically reflect on your experience and to compare it with that of others.

However, you believe that market orientation is a must for any company, and that sound knowledge is the pillar on which to build a successful career. You have drive, you have ambition, you have already developed a successful career, but now you want to make a leap forward. The executive master in marketing & sales (emms) is ideal for energetic, forward-looking young executives who want to reach out and acquire a global mindset.
