Global Executive MBA

Hult’s Global Executive MBA offers the most global, practical, and flexible business education available. Build a study program around your own schedule, upgrade your skills, and take the next step in your international career.

Flexibility

Choose where, how, and what to study.

Our Global Executive MBA is a two-year program designed for working professionals. You attend classes over one four-day weekend a month and have maximum flexibility to design a program of study around your needs. You can take up to four years to complete the program.

Customize where you study

Study at any or all of five campus locations during your two-year program and seamlessly relocate if your circumstances change.

Customize how you study

You have the option of studying Module 1 or 2 online if you need to, and can pause your program if your situation unexpectedly changes. You will be given up to four years to complete this two-year program.

Customize what you study

Specialize in Marketing, Finance, Project Management, Sustainability, Entrepreneurship, or General Management and choose projects that are relevant to your career goals.

Campus locations

Study at up to three of five locations each year.

At Hult, you can learn about world markets by studying in several of them. We offer you the choice of five Executive MBA campuses worldwide — and the ability to rotate seamlessly among them. First choose a home campus to complete your core studies from October to April: London, Dubai, or Shanghai. Then, if you choose, you can customize your study program by taking specialization electives from May to July at any two of these locations: London, Shanghai, Dubai, San Francisco, or New York.

Relocate without interruption to your program

Our global campus network means that if your circumstances suddenly change, or you need to relocate to a different part of the world, we can help you make the transition to a new home campus without interrupting your studies.

  • Dubai
  • Shanghai
  • San Francisco – Rotation center

Specializations

Customize your Executive MBA: When you pick your specialization, you are able to tailor the program’s content to meet your individual and professional goals. From May to July each year, choose elective classes relevant to a specific career or industry, or study a broad range of general management topics. 

EMBA specializations

Marketing

Focus your studies on international marketing to grow an existing global brand—or create one of your own. Gain specialized skills in market research, branding, consumer behavior, sales, and new product development. These combined business and marketing skills prepare graduates for a wide array of careers that go beyond traditional functional marketing.

Finance

Give yourself the competitive edge in the world of finance. Designed with input from Fortune 1000 CFOs, leading academics, and a broad range of finance professionals, this specialization provides broad exposure to areas such as corporate finance as well as developing your analytical and interpretive skills— crucial no matter what finance career path you choose.

Sustainability

Social responsibility and sustainability are increasingly issues at the top of the agenda for leading businesses. This specialization has been created for anyone committed to making their organizations more responsible, sustainable, and successful. Get to grips with areas as diverse as environmental economics, sustainable development and design, and social justice—and understand the way in which all of these affect the global supply chain, business practices, and future business strategy.

Entrepreneurship

Got a great idea for a startup? Acquire all the knowledge, tools, and mentorship you need to start your own organization. You can further focus your studies in social entrepreneurship by gaining knowledge of how to navigate social and political issues, as well as a full understanding of how to make change happen. (Note: Since many of your professors are successful and busy entrepreneurs themselves, some of these classes might be conducted online.)

Project Management

Strong project management can mean the difference between businesses that thrive and those that fail. This specialization will equip you with the technical and people skills required to manage major projects for multinationals, family businesses, and NGOs. It is designed to give you the wide range of skills necessary for planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to meet business objectives.

General Management

Want to ensure you have as broad a perspective as possible on global enterprises? Simply take the courses that interest you the most from any of the specializations above. This will help you build the knowledge and skills that you feel will best help you in your chosen career path.

Scholarships & financing
