Executive MBA - Europe (Geneva)

Offering our globally acclaimed Executive MBA program in modular format in Geneva, Thunderbird's headquarters for executive education in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

To drive truly sustainable business growth, today's global leaders need a broader perspective beyond the standard MBA program. In addition to world-class management practices, they need cross-cultural communication and negotiation skills, along with the ability to adapt quickly to changing environments. They need a keen understanding of the political and economic factors that shape each region's business landscape--and a repertoire of skills to respond to the forces that drive change.

Thunderbird’s Executive MBA-Europe program develops these skills in convenient format for busy working professionals from across Europe and the Middle East. The program is based in Geneva, Switzerland, an influential hub for international affairs and regional headquarters for major multinational corporations, and leverages Thunderbird's knowledge network of experts and alumni across the region.
