Executive MBA - Overview

We believe the following elements are making our EMBA corona resilient:

1. Respecting Social Distance:
   
   During our residential kick-off in the Ruwenberg, the Netherlands, we lay the foundations of a warm and welcoming EMBA group. We know it’s very important to do this in real life in order to create a good group feeling. Together with our partner, the Ruwenberg, we’ll apply if necessary, a protocol to respect social distancing and other COVID 19 preventive measures, making sure we can organize this kick-off in a residential environment.
   
   Regular modules will be organized every three weeks on Friday and Saturday at our campus. Our infrastructure and class setup will be able to respect the social distancing rules.
   
2. Online fall back plan: Classes will be made available online on an individual basis for participants unable to attend in class due to COVID 19.
   
3. International modules: to make sure that there are no international travel restrictions for our participants, we’ve decided to reschedule our EMBA as follows:
   
   - First international module: 7 - 12 June 2021 in Boston, USA
   - Second international module: 15 – 19 November 2021 in Guangzhou, China
   - Third international module: 14 - 18 February 2022 in Porto, Portugal
   
4. Extra content: we’ve added a virtual joint module for the Antwerp and Moscow cohort in February 2021. This module will introduce the Global Strategic Challenges and focus on recent developments in the world and on leading and working with remote teams. From this module on, you will start to work and connect intensively with your Moscow colleagues.

With these actions, we are convinced that your EMBA will be Corona resilient and will offer you the best preparation for the coming years.

Antwerp Management School is an international business school that helps its customers to create sustainable value by shaping talent into becoming Global Citizens, mastering the art of decision-making and leading people. To accomplish this mission, Antwerp Management School delivers state-of-the-art management knowledge, anchored in a business and organizational context. This is the fundamental basis on which weput three value pillars: self-awareness, global perspective and societal consciousness, that we believe are needed to become Global Citizens.

The structure and contents of our EMBA mirrors the school’s mission. We not only deliver management knowledge, but also a Personal Development Program, coaching, deeply engaging international components (e.g. international immersion modules) and a community project, which are the building blocks required to become a Global Citizen.

Developing the whole individual on a professional and personal level, that is what the Executive MBA at AMS excels at. That’s why this EMBA is perfect for enthusiastic professionals who feel they are ready for the next step in their career or a complete career switch.

The small class size

A maximum of 35 participants allows our EMBA team to give each of you their full support. We take care of you, so you can focus on your studies and life.

Study at your own pace

We understand very well that an Executive MBA is not always 100% compatible with the demands and needs of your career. At AMS we dare to take up this challenge and if necessary we enable you to study at your own pace. Complete the EMBA in 2, 3 or more years. The standard duration for completion of the EMBA is 22 months (equal to 2 academic years). In some cases this may not be convenient or appropriate for the lifestyle or professional responsibilities of individual participants. AMS therefore encourages you to get in touch to discuss how the schedule may be redeveloped to ensure you can complete the program in a logical sequence of activities but in harmony with the external demands on your time. Contact us for more details.

All participants wishing to graduate with the degree of Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) must satisfactorily demonstrate sufficient competences in the mandatory modules, in addition to submitting satisfactory Master Consulting Project reports and Community Project reports.

All teaching materials, discussions and assignments are entirely in English.

‘‘The design of the program, the interaction with faculty and with colleague students gives a boost in self-consciousness and self confidence. After every lesson you go home rejuvenated, reflecting in a different way about all aspects of your own business.” Marc S. alumnus

Each year we aim to recruit up to 35 participants from a broad range of academic and professional backgrounds. We encourage female and (aspiring) entrepreneurs to consider our program and we aim to be flexible in meeting individual needs to help complete your EMBA studies at Antwerp Management School
