Ambition shouldn’t have to wait. The programme is structured so that motivated professionals can complete the MBA fully online in as little as 12 months. Every module is carefully designed to deliver depth and momentum, helping you build mastery of leadership and sustainability concepts with a clear, achievable timeline.

The accelerated pathway means you can realise ROI faster—translating new frameworks and tools into measurable workplace outcomes while you study. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, a pivot, or a broader leadership mandate, you can progress at a pace that matches your goals.

No Fixed Class Times—Truly Flexible Learning

Busy leaders need flexibility, not friction. There are no mandatory live lectures or required online presence at set times. Instead, you engage with resources, assessments, and faculty interaction when it suits your professional and personal commitments.

This asynchronous design respects your life rhythm—whether that’s early mornings before the workday, evenings after family time, or weekends dedicated to deep study. You remain in control, consistently moving forward without sacrificing what matters most.

Study Anywhere—Even Offline via Our Mobile App

Whether you are at home, traveling for business, commuting, or enjoying Norway’s outdoors, learning goes with you. Our mobile app enables you to download study materials and watch lectures offline, so connectivity never stands between you and progress.

This frictionless experience supports genuine continuity: review articles on a flight, contribute to discussions from a train, or revisit lectures on a mountain cabin weekend. Your classroom is wherever you are.

Open-Book Assessments that Mirror Real Work

In leadership, success isn’t about memorising answers—it’s about asking better questions, finding credible sources, and building rigorous, actionable recommendations. That’s why the MBA uses open-book assessments rather than classical question/answer exams.

You’ll research, analyse, and synthesise insights to tackle complex, real-world scenarios—just as you would in an executive role. This approach develops judgment, evidence-based thinking, and strategic clarity that transcends the classroom.

Learn from Faculty Educated at World-Renowned Universities

Your tutors and faculty include graduates of globally respected institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring academic excellence together with practical, international experience across sectors and leadership contexts.

That blend of scholarly depth and executive perspective enriches your learning—offering nuanced feedback, relevant case discussions, and mentorship that stretches your thinking while respecting your professional reality.

Join a Truly Global Community

Study alongside peers from over 130 countries—leaders, innovators, and change-makers who bring diverse perspectives from every corner of the world. This rich, multicultural environment enhances your strategic thinking and cultural agility, skills that are essential for modern leadership.

Our alumni work for organisations such as DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, and Sony, among many others. Their journeys testify to the programme’s ability to open doors and accelerate careers across industries and regions.

Invest Wisely with Flexible Payments

Professional growth should be accessible and predictable. Our flexible payment plan lets you spread your fees over up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you manage cash flow while you invest in your future.

This approach allows you to start when you’re ready, plan your finances sensibly, and focus on learning—confident that your investment is tied to a clear, career-enhancing outcome.
