Expand your knowledge

The Global MBA is founded upon strong academic content designed to deepen your knowledge. Taught entirely in English, the program focuses on providing participants with a thorough grounding in essential management and leadership theory through its core courses.  Electives, chair seminars and multidisciplinary workshops covering a wide range of specialized subjects enable you to cater your MBA to your own career objectives and expand the scope of your learning.  All content integrates perspectives and best practices from around the globe, and pays close attention to key issues such as entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity, corporate social responsibility and sustainability.

Courses and seminars are taught by ESSEC’s top-flight faculty, which counts more than 141 members representing 33 countries, from the world’s most prestigious institutions, in addition to internationally renowned visiting professors, experts and professionals.

 

Challenge your capacities

Being business-savvy on one’s home turf is no longer enough.  To succeed in today’s business world, you must be able to eat, sleep and think globally, especially in environments that are far from your comfort zone.  The Global MBA aims to develop your creative problem-solving skills and the ability to think on your feet, either on your own or as part of a multi-cultural team, in any business environment.

The program includes field trips to both Eastern Europe and Singapore, the International Immersion Project. During this off-campus, mentor-led program, you will have the opportunity to work on a consulting project with a social connotation abroad.  Faced with real-world situations that require you to think outside the box, you will collaborate with senior executives and government officials in order to develop a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural, social, and business environment.
