It is a 24-month programme taught over one weekend every month from Friday to Sunday, except April, August and December. All seminars, as well as examinations and tests take place during the weekend periods. The EMBA programme caters for the needs of business executives. It offers much more than business fundamentals. Our programme is built in a flexible way to facilitate learning through a variety of teaching methods, technologies, environments, workshops and integrating seminars.

The Business Consultancy Project– As a part of the IHU EMBA programme, students submit an individual 10,000-word business project on a subject relating to their study and career. The objective of the EMBA project is to provide insights, analysis and conclusions grounded in academic discipline but also relevant to management. Projects are undertaken within a sponsoring organisation under the supervision of a member of the academic faculty.

The Field Trip– The EMBA field trip provides participants with the opportunity to explore first-hand the business practices in different South Eastern European countries. Groups of four students visit an organisation in Greece and/or the region. The exercise not only helps to integrate the theory with practical application, but also places important emphasis on the international aspects of politics, economics and business in the region.

The Integrating Seminars– The purpose of the Integrating Seminars is to provide a forum for participants to interact, discuss and debate contemporary economic and business issues with leading economic policy makers, senior managers and academics.

Professional Development Programme– The professional development programme is made up of a series of workshops and seminars aimed at developing softer skills to complement the more traditional skills participants learn as part of the EMBA. They include, for example, one-to-one support, career coaching, mind mapping, presentation skills, creativity and presentation, media training, networking and interviewing.

Upon completion of the EMBA Programme, you will have:

• a thorough grasp of the principles and applications of key management functions, together with technical and conceptual skills

• a focus on, and appreciation of, strategic issues in many industry sectors

• a genuinely international, multicultural perspective and an understanding of the challenges facing global business

• a highly flexible qualification suitable for a wide range of career opportunities
