An Executive MBA begins with a desire to develop – and a conversation about what it can mean for you and your organization. What do you want to improve? What challenges does the organization face? And how can what you learn contribute to meeting them?
By discussing ambitions, expectations, and opportunities with your employer early on, you lay the groundwork for getting more out of the program. This gives you a common direction and makes it easier to apply new knowledge and perspectives within the organization.
Here you will find information about eligibility, the application process, and financing, so that you and your employer can prepare for the next step.
The Executive MBA is aimed at experienced leaders who want to develop their strategic understanding and deepen their ability to lead organizations.
To apply, you need to meet the following basic requirements:

The program fee is SEK 545,000 excluding VAT.
The fee includes tuition, supervision, mandatory course literature, refreshments, and lunches.
Travel and accommodation are not included in the program fee. This applies to recurring campus meetings, the three-day leadership workshop off-campus, and the two international residency periods in China and India.
A reservation fee equivalent to 10 percent of the program fee is paid upon admission and is non-refundable. The remaining amount is paid in two equal installments, at the start of the program and at the start of the second term.

Entrepreneurs with an established company can apply for a scholarship from Knut & Ragnvi Jacobsson’s Family Foundation to finance their participation in the Executive MBA.
