We understand very well that pursuing an Executive MBA is not always 100% compatible with the demands and needs of your personal and professional life. Our program is designed for professionals, combining a busy life and career with a challenging program. The standard duration for completion of the EMBA is 22 months (equivalent to 2 academic years), 55 mandatory in-class days of which 38 are working days. If necessary, we offer you the option to study at your own pace.

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 with us to discuss how the schedule may be redeveloped to ensure that you can complete the program in a logical sequence of activities but in harmony with the external demands on your time. In the past years, participants have completed the EMBA in 2, 3 or more years. Contact us for more details.
