No Live Attendance Required

Your schedule should serve your learning, not the other way around. This MBA does not require you to be online at specific times or dates. Engage with lectures, readings, and discussions when you are most focused—before the morning commute, during a quiet evening, or over a weekend retreat.

Asynchronous learning puts you in control, reducing stress and improving retention. It also makes collaboration across time zones seamless, so you benefit from diverse perspectives without wrestling with calendar conflicts. The result: more meaningful participation and deeper understanding.

Study Anywhere—Even Offline with Our Mobile App

Whether you are at home in Budapest, between meetings across the city, or traveling for work, your studies move with you. Our mobile app lets you download materials and watch lectures offline, so you can make consistent progress even when connectivity is limited.

This anytime, anywhere access transforms small moments into big gains. Review case studies on the tram, annotate readings at a café, or revisit a lecture on a flight. Your learning becomes truly integrated into your day—practical, portable, and persistent.

Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real Work

Real leadership isn’t about memorising facts—it’s about asking better questions, finding relevant information, and making sound decisions. That’s why this MBA uses open-book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. You’ll apply theories to realistic scenarios, synthesise evidence, and justify your recommendations—just as you would in the workplace.

This approach rewards critical thinking, integrity, and analytical rigour. It helps you build a portfolio of work that demonstrates how you tackle complex challenges, manage trade-offs, and deliver outcomes—capabilities that employers value far more than short-term recall.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Leading Universities

Guided by seasoned academics and practitioners, you will learn from tutors who have graduated from world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their breadth of experience brings clarity to complex topics and relevance to every discussion.

These faculty members connect research to practice, sharing insights from boardrooms, laboratories, and policy forums. You gain access to a rich ecosystem of knowledge, mentorship, and constructive feedback that strengthens your leadership capacity and sharpens your strategic thinking.
