EMBA perfected, for the best-in-class results
Applications are now open for the International Executive MBA (Class of 2024) starting in December 2022!
A unique 12-month International Executive MBA programme for ambitious managers and entrepreneurs who want to upgrade their knowledge and skills without interrupting their work, with top professors from the Americas, Europe and Asia, and diverse classmates who are equally experienced and insightful.
Excellence through Collaboration
Innovative and effective
For two decades, BMI has been developing high-level managers and entrepreneurs able to lead organisations in a global marketplace. With flexibility, efficiency, and excellence.
Our flagship INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE MBA was among the first individual programmes accredited by the EFMD, a global guarantor of quality. Participants rate the EMBA very highly and its graduates are now leading companies in over 30 countries.
Uniquely, we bring in top executive educators from leading business schools worldwide – professors and practitioners from many countries who have built, advised and inspired diverse companies, also helping to advance the science and art of management. They deliver all our real-world focused, entrepreneurially minded, values-driven programmes.
Participants also discover new opportunities through BMI’s exclusive ‘executive mobility modules’ at up to 9 locations across 3 continents. These modules mean, that once you are our EMBA participant, you are given access to our 9 partner schools for life-long learning opportunities. Managers benefit from first-hand experience in these places with diverse insights and strategic value for the business.
Partners in excellence
BMI was founded in 1999 by leading European management schools including HEC Paris of France, NHH of Norway, LSM at UCLouvain in Belgium and Lithuania’s VMU.
Over the years we have further built and expanded our powerful educational partnerships to include Tulane University’s Freeman School in the USA, Aalto University Executive Education in Finland, Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen in Germany, and others.
Partners like that are a key part of why we are always at the cutting edge.
