We deliver knowledge online. Subsequently four residential weeks will be organised where participants are exposed to other cultures, interact and get to know each other. These residential weeks consist of company visits, real-life case studies and team work. Residential weeks will be held at renowned universities in Southeast Asia, East Asia and Switzerland. The programme duration is usually 18 months, plus 6 months for the master thesis; a faster completion is possible. Our concept allows maximum flexibility due to its module structure and the rolling intake. About 70% of the contents are delivered online, 30% during residential weeks.
The Swiss-Asian MBA consists of the following units:
Methods and Leadership
Finance and Economics
Management
Marketing and Internationalisation - Includes an in-depth special course on Globalisation, Innovation and Entrepreneurship / Intrapreneurship, highlighting the relevance of modern technologies.
Master Thesis - Closely related to a business case of the participant.
