Accelerate your progress: 100% online, in as little as 1 year

Your time is valuable. Our streamlined learning journey allows motivated professionals to complete the programme 100% online in as little as 1 year, enabling you to convert momentum into results without pausing your life or career.

Advance module by module, applying insights immediately in your work. This focused pathway helps you sustain pace, demonstrate impact quickly, and position yourself for new responsibilities and opportunities sooner.

Asynchronous learning: no fixed times or dates

Busy schedule? Different time zones? No problem. The programme is designed so you don’t need to be online at specific times or dates. Engage with materials, discussions, and assessments when it suits you best, and fit your studies around work, family, and personal commitments.

This flexibility empowers consistent progress without compromising your responsibilities. It’s a model built for real professionals with real lives—providing structure where you need it, and freedom where you want it.

Learn anywhere—even offline via our mobile app

Study from anywhere in the world, including while on the move. Our mobile app makes learning remarkably accessible: download materials, watch lectures offline, and keep advancing even when connectivity is limited or you are traveling across Russia’s vast geography.

Whether you’re commuting, between meetings, or working remotely, you can convert small pockets of time into meaningful progress—turning mobility into a strategic advantage for your education.

Open-book assessments that mirror real-world decision-making

We use open-book assessments rather than classical question/answer exams. This approach emphasises analysis, application, and critical thinking—exactly the capabilities leaders draw on daily when resources and references are available, but judgment and synthesis set you apart.

Expect to interpret data, evaluate alternatives, and propose solutions with evidence. The result is learning that stays with you because it is practiced in the same way you’ll use it: to solve complex business challenges.

Learn from faculty with elite academic backgrounds

Guided by experienced tutors and faculty who graduated from world-renowned universities—such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis—you’ll benefit from perspectives shaped by rigorous scholarship and global practice.

Faculty mentorship helps you connect theory to action. You’ll be challenged to elevate your strategic thinking, refine your leadership voice, and apply the latest management insights to your own projects and goals.

A global cohort and network that open doors

Join a diverse student community from over 130 countries, enriching your learning with real-world viewpoints from multiple industries and cultures. Collaborative projects and discussions give you practical exposure to how leaders analyse, negotiate, and implement across markets.

Our alumni work for international organisations such as DHL, Luis Vuiton, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Nestle, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, Rosneft, Lukoil, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony.

Flexible payments that fit your plans

Education is an investment—make it on terms that work for you. Our fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you plan confidently and maintain financial flexibility while you study.

This predictable structure keeps your goals in reach without deferring opportunity. Focus your energy on learning and leading, while paying in manageable stages.
