Flexibility
Shaping Your EMBA Journey – With Flexibility and a Personal Touch
At the Executive MBA UZH, we understand that life is busy – juggling a demanding career, personal commitments, and now, a study program. That’s why we’ve built flexibility into every aspect of the EMBA. We want this experience to be enriching and manageable, and we’re here to support you every step of the way with tailored solutions that fit your unique situation.
An Executive MBA That Works for You
Our EMBA UZH is a General Management program with a strong focus on Digital Transformation. It’s designed to prepare you for leadership roles across various industries. You can choose to study in German (with about 25% in English) or fully in English. Even better – you can mix and match modules from both programs to build the EMBA experience that suits you best. Interested in a specific field like Banking, Digital Health, or Blockchain? You can personalize your learning further by selecting electives from our wider Executive Education portfolio.
Hybrid Learning That Respects Your Time
We keep classroom time for what matters most – engaging discussions, real-world cases, and collaborative group work. Before each module, you’ll complete preparatory work to ensure everyone starts at the same level. This hybrid format gives you the flexibility to prepare at your own pace, wherever you are.
When Life Happens, We Adapt
The EMBA is primarily a face-to-face, cohort-based experience – but we know that sometimes life doesn’t stick to the plan. If unexpected events arise, you can attend lectures online. You also have the option to skip up to 3 modules and still graduate with full credits. And if major disruptions come up, you have the flexibility to complete the program in the following year. We’re committed to finding a solution that works for you.
Travel Optional
Our Learning Expeditions to Yale University, Stanford University, and to another Innovation Hotspot are a highlight – carefully curated trips designed to expand your perspective. However, if travel isn’t feasible for you, we offer alternative classroom-based or online modules. You won’t miss out. You can even join in the following years as an Alumna or Alumnus.
Learning That Connects to Your Work
You’ll be encouraged to apply your EMBA learning directly to your professional life. In fact, many modules invite you to bring a real case from your job to work on during class – making your experience both practical and impactful.
Financing Made Manageable
To secure your spot, only a small portion of the tuition is due upfront. The rest can be paid over three years through a customized, tax-efficient payment plan. We’ll help you make it work financially, just like we do with everything else.
Support at Every Step
Each module is designed with executive learners in mind. Preparation materials are available 4–6 weeks in advance, so you can study at your own rhythm. Exams take place during or shortly after the module – no stressful exam weeks at the end. You’ll also receive close guidance on your final Master project, which you’ll develop in pairs with your academic supervisor’s support.
Everything in One Place
All your materials, schedules, and information are on our user-friendly learning platform, which works smoothly on your laptop or phone – learning has never been more accessible.
We’re With You Throughout
From professors and guest lecturers to your Course Assistant and Program Manager, there’s a dedicated team by your side. And if you have specific learning needs, we’ll go the extra mile to accommodate them.
