Programme Schedule
The programme is modular and taught on our Europe, Middle East and Asia campuses.
Start where it suits you
Most people start on the campus closest to home; some build their business travel around modules on the other side of the world.
Finish as one class
Whichever section you join, you study on all three campuses, come together for the second half and graduate in Singapore.
Study from anywhere
The GEMBA Flex combines live virtual and online learning with in-person modules, for those who need greater flexibility.

GEMBA Flex: Two-hour live-virtual sessions take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with class timings at 12:30 CET or 15:00 CET to accommodate participants across time zones. Exams are held on the last Saturday of the month.
Dates are correct as of 28 September 2026 (GEMBA Flex: 15 January 2026) and are subject to change. Whilst the length of the modules may differ due to scheduling, the total time spent in class is the same across all sections.
Independent study time
In addition to the time spent on campus, equivalent to 12 working weeks, you will also need to allow roughly 5 weeks in total for independent study, about 10 to 12 hours of homework a week.
Over the programme, you hand in two implementation essays on putting GEMBA learning into practice in your own work, three reflection papers on the Key Management Challenges you choose and a final project based on a real-life experience. Peer work-shadowing is optional.
