The graduate MBA program of the Zagreb School of Economics and Management is the first AACSB-accredited Croatian business school and the only Croatian MBA program ranked in the world-famous QS Global MBA ranking. According to the QS ranking, it is included in the prestigious top 200 MBA programs in the world and among the top 60 MBAs in Europe.
The Executive MBA was designed for candidates with at least three years of experience who wanted to acquire new skills. Following the example of the world’s best programs, the MBA provides a unique opportunity for weekend training without neglecting business and family obligations. The program consists of two parts: compulsory subjects and writing a diploma thesis. The dynamism of the program was implemented through a combination of 50% lectures and 50% group assignments on an online platform (LMS). Students are challenged to think about current and future management and business challenges. Their skills are developed across multiple dimensions, including development strategy, organizational behavior, and leadership of ethical companies. Students simultaneously develop their skills and knowledge through practical projects during their studies.
The Global Executive MBA program is conducted in cooperation with H-FARM College. The program is intended for people from middle and upper management with at least three years of work experience who want to perfect and improve their business processes with new knowledge of business management acquired through the course. Lectures are held every other weekend (Friday afternoons and Saturdays) for participants to balance their desire for additional education with numerous business and private commitments. The Global Executive MBA program brings together lecturers with extensive business and academic international experience. These are lecturers from ZSEM, H-FARM College, Luxembourg Business School, Stevens Institute of Technology from New York, and Singapore.
