Flexible EMBA

Are you ready to start your EMBA journey now? Complete some elective modules before your EMBA program starts.

We offer you the opportunity of starting your studies before your Executive MBA program officially starts. There are a number of modules available monthly in our ongoing MBA programs that you can choose from. The completed modules and study credits will be included in your EMBA studies. This way, you can get a feeling for studying and can complete some of the required modules before the official start of your program, and you will also gain some flexibility in tailoring your EMBA study plan and schedule.

The modules on offer are mainly included as elective modules in the EMBA program. As part of your EMBA, you will need to complete elective modules worth a total of 22.5 ECTS credits, with one elective module typically equivalent to 4.5 ECTS.

Modules available include for example

  • Business Model Innovation
  • Digital Transformation
  • Financial Decision-Making
  • Global Strategy
  • Leading Change and Transformation
  • Power and Influence
  • Self-Leadership
  • Strategic Foresight
  • Strategic Sustainability for Business

You can complete one to six modules before the official program start in October. The fees are

  • one module: € 4,450 (+ VAT)
  • two modules: € 8,900 (+ VAT)
  • three modules: € 13,350 (+ VAT)
  • four to six modules: € 16,600 (+ VAT)

and will be fully compensated when you start your EMBA program within a year of completing the module.

Kindly note that we require you to complete parts of the EMBA application process before you can take any of the modules. Please discuss with your Aalto EE contact person how to make the best selection of modules, prepare a study plan, and meet the entry requirements, and how to proceed with the application process. We will help you with any questions you may have on starting your studies and finding the best solution for you.

Taking some of the modules does not bind you to start EMBA studies with us. The compensation for fees is valid for one year from completion, and the study credits are transferable for five years from completion.
