Summary
Edtech major promises 360-degree management experience to learners at 1/10th of the offline cost
Second programme from the collaboration after Doctor in Business Administration launched earlier this year
EdTech major upGrad has launched a flagship one-year Executive MBA programme in partnership with the Swiss School of Business and Management (SSBM), Geneva.
SSBM is leading global, innovative and unique business school with learners from all around the world. This is the second programme that upGrad has launched with the university after the Doctor in Business Administration launched earlier this year.
Unlike any other regular one-year postgraduate programmes in India that offer just certificates, this Executive MBA programme is designed to provide a 360-degree management experience to learners at 1/10th of the offline cost. It includes a holistic mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning in the form of live and recorded lectures by global faculty and industry leaders. Ideal for managers who are looking for career acceleration without having to quit their jobs, the course also involves case-study pedagogy, industry-driven projects, and graded assignments which can further help them attain a globally recognised degree and managerial skills at the same time.
“We are committed to our goal of making India's workforce future-ready by providing them with a highly effective global and affordable online education. Hence, the extension of our partnership with SSBM Geneva, which has also been ranked amongst the top global B-Schools bears testimony to our robust infrastructure for delivering an immersive learning experience. We are constantly enhancing our programme portfolio for all of those ambitious professionals who are interested in a substantial career acceleration over just a career switch,” said Arjun Mohan, CEO - India, upGrad.
Speaking about the launch, Mario Silic, PhD, University of St Gallen, Switzerland, said: “The world is going through tremendous changes. Looking at the changing dynamics and the global business transformations, the Executive MBA programme will provide you with insights into the complexities, solutions, and challenges of executive management. This unique programme will bring you the best-in-class knowledge on the latest business and managerial topics combined with disruptive technologies that are reshaping the way we work.”
