Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Decision-Making

Instead of memorising for traditional question-and-answer exams, you will demonstrate mastery through open-book assessments. This approach reflects how leaders operate in the real world—synthesising information, evaluating evidence, and making justified decisions.

Open-book does not mean easy; it means authentic. Your assessments reward depth of understanding, critical thinking, and the ability to integrate theory with practice in ways that are immediately useful in your role.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Leading Universities

Guidance matters. You will be taught and supervised by experienced academics and practitioners who graduated from institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis.

That breadth of perspective ensures you gain not only advanced research skills but also insight into how rigorous management thinking is applied across sectors, cultures, and organisational contexts.
