Executive MBA

The TIAS Executive MBA is a rigorous, English-taught program that combines academic depth with a transformative leadership journey. It integrates analytical thinking with self-awareness and confidence, empowering you to create meaningful impact for yourself, your organization, and society at large. The program blends academic frameworks with hands-on tools, delivered through varied assignments and interactive learning methods. This approach encourages new ways of thinking and ensures that what you learn stays with you. Because you apply new insights directly in your daily work, the impact of the Executive MBA begins long before graduation.

Leadership within the EMBA

Leadership is a core component of the Executive MBA. TIAS’s distinctive, integrated approach combines skill-focused workshops, deep self-awareness, and experiential learning with peer coaching. Throughout the EMBA, the same peer-coaching groups meet five times, guided by a coach, to ensure you achieve optimal personal growth. Our coaches work with you to develop and sharpen your core competencies, helping you progress toward the goals you set. This way, the Executive MBA fosters an environment for both professional and personal growth.
