Aalto Tech MBA / Aalto Tech Executive MBA
Customize your flexible learning journey from a tech-specific program towards a complete MBA degree. Depending on your professional role and needs, you can choose from different options.
The Aalto Tech MBA and Aalto Tech Executive MBA programs consist of two parts:
- Leading Digital Transformation or Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals program
- Aalto MBA or Aalto EMBA program.
Participants who complete the Leading Digital Transformation or Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals program before the Aalto MBA or Executive MBA gain more than advanced technical knowledge. They enter the MBA or EMBA with a strategic understanding of how digitalization, data, and AI shape business models, decision-making, and competitive advantage.
This foundation allows participants to engage more deeply in leadership, strategy, and general management discussions, accelerating learning and increasing the overall impact of the MBA or EMBA experience. In this pathway, the combination of a technology-focused program and an MBA or EMBA is not sequential learning, but an integrated leadership journey where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Leading Digital Transformation program offers senior professionals and leaders a pathway to an MBA/Executive MBA education, combining core leadership development with a forward-thinking digital approach.
The Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals program provides a corresponding pathway for managers and professionals focused on building strong skills in data, analytics, and artificial intelligence to support data-driven decision-making and business development.
By continuing their studies in an Aalto MBA or EMBA program, participants will both widen and deepen their management skills, earning the unique Aalto Tech MBA or Aalto Tech EMBA certificate through a holistic leadership development journey.
The Leading Digital Transformation and Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals programs are worth 18 ECTS credits each, all of which are transferable to the Aalto MBA or Aalto Executive MBA programs (each 90 ECTS in total). The study credits are valid for five years after completing the Leading Digital Transformation or Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals program. After completing either of these programs and the Aalto MBA or the Aalto Executive MBA, the participant will receive the Aalto Tech MBA or EMBA certificate.
Participants who successfully complete the Leading Digital Transformation program or Data, Analytics, and AI for Professionals program and transfer the earned 18 credits receive a 20% tuition fee reduction for the Aalto MBA or Executive MBA.
