Learning Ecosystem

At BSL, a genuine Learning Ecosystem empowers Classroom learning. The EMBA students benefit from various features that will enable them to transfer the knowledge and skills they acquire into their personal and professional development. BSL Career Center provides a structured and holistic pathway toward career advancement, transition, or switch. The program is made of counselling sessions, self-development, and self-branding. It is plugged into the EMBA program through classroom modules, individual meetings, online webinars, and social events.

BSL is the partner of the Incub&Co incubator to provide a space entirely dedicated to entrepreneurial initiatives. Distinguished and inspirational Guest Speakers regularly visit EMBA classroom modules and open direct access to a wealth of real-world experiences and innovations.

Learning Style

Personalization of learning starts with the creation of your Study Plan. We want to ensure that you access the courses you need at times that suit you optimally.

We do everything to benefit our EMBA students from what some call “the best consulting machine.” They mean that every module is taught by seasoned and currently active business practitioners and experts with proven success in the field.

Expertise does not only lie with the Faculty. Our admission criteria make for a student body with practical experience and a varied professional and international background (60+ nationalities). Even if courses are taught in small groups (up to 25 students), we estimate that every EMBA student can work in close cooperation with up to 80 fellow learners during a regular course of studies.

You will thus be part of a vibrant learning community, where the semi-formality of the classroom discussions enhances your capacity to inspire and communicate your goals and ambitions. This routine that only personalized education can offer nurtures initiatives with limitless impact.

Learning Output

The EMBA journey is an invitation to explore new dimensions of your current business activities:

  • You will undertake a personal transformation journey that will enable you to know yourself better, explore your purpose, and nurture your capacity to lead yourself and others towards a better world. The EMBA journey will immerse you in a multi-faceted learning space that fosters your personal growth through soft skills courses, mentoring, and reflective practices.
  • You will be exposed to unconventional thinking beyond business-as-usual and explore an outside-in perspective that redefines business strategies as being driven by sustainability challenges. You will discover innovative concepts and tools for tackling global issues related to business’s economic, environmental, and social impact.
  • You will accelerate your professional growth and have the chance to make a positive contribution to an actual organization within the program.

Orientation

Orientation in Executive Education

Three questions will define your route for your Executive Education.

Question 1 : MBA or EMBA ?

The MBA route is designed for those who are starting a managerial career. The EMBA route is designed for those with significant managerial experience. The MBA and EMBA modules differ when the learning curve differs between starters and experienced students. The MBA and EMBA modules are shared when the conversation between starters and experienced students can be fruitful.

 

Question 2 : Specialization and focus ?

All three Specializations share a Core curriculum designed to ensure that all students acquire all necessary business knowledge and skills. Each specialization is combined with a focus to obtain the most useful mix of competencies. The program is designed so that Specialization, Focus and Core modules can be followed separately.

EMBA COMPLETE PROGRAM (60 ECTS)

Number of Modules Category ECTS
5 Specialization modules 15 ECTS
5 Focus modules 15 ECTS
5 Core modules 15 ECTS
1 Project 15 ECTS
Question 3 : Full time (one year) or part-time (two years) ?

We recommend full-time to professionals seeking a career transition or those who want to take a break from work and focus entirely on a year of dynamic learning immersion. We recommend part-time to working professionals in or outside of Switzerland who would like to keep their employment and study part-time, which means attending classes every few weeks.
