The programme set-up, organisation and students of the Euro*MBA programme fits the expatriate needs, expectations and life style; providing a flexible, international and diverse learning environment.
Not only you can study wherever, whenever you like, you also work together with fellow expatriates who understand where you come from. Furthermore, you increase your international job mobility and career with this MBA degree of five high quality partner European Business Schools and Universities, which has three international recognised accreditations: AMBA (British accreditation), AACSB (American accreditation) and Equis (European accreditation). The Euro*MBA programme was also ranked nr. 5 Distance Learning MBA worldwide by The Economist (2008).
Six residential weeks all over Europe alternate with ten modules in a period of 24 months. You can study the course modules wherever, whenever, being supported by internet and virtual team IT tools.
Through maximum diversity, the Euro*MBA strives to expand your frame of reference in order to enable you to innovate, develop and contribute to your own business environment and community. An approach attractive to the broad mind set of expatriates.
How do we create diversity?
In the residential weeks, teams work together on integrative assignments. In the course modules you are part of a multicultural virtual course team. Your virtual team changes every four months, ensuring you have built a solid international network of 60 – 80 participants by the time you graduate.
Graduates and participants together combine over 40 nationalities and represent a variety of executive levels in numerous industries and cultures. This international network and available knowledge provides incomparable value in the global environment.
Applicants to the programme should have at least:

"When I looked for an MBA I was already an expat but living in EU and I knew I was going to be moving around the world for the following years. To give you an example, in July 2004 I was living in Tamworth (UK) , in September I was living in Barcelona (I even bought a house) and in January I moved to Geneva. Therefore, I was looking for something that first of all was compatible with my lifestyle. Most of my study time is done in planes, airports, hotel rooms, etc. A "normal" MBA could not offer this. In addition, most of the expats work in multinational companies and in multicultural environments. The Euro*MBA provides a similar scope in its courses, and the continuous interaction with multicultural students with a very diverse background really makes me a more valuable asset for my firm. In addition, the environment created by the Euro*MBA is the same environment that we have in our company: lots of international people with different culture, background and religions.”

"I currently live in Mumbai, India, with my husband and two young children (age 2 and 3). After working in banking and communications for over 10 years, I took a three years sabbatical to join my husband when he was asked by his employer for an expat assignment in India. To use my time wisely I decided to do an MBA, something I wanted to do for a long time. I looked at several distance learning programmes and decided to join the Euro*MBA because of the accreditations and the international scope. This turned out to be an excellent choice. I have a lot of interaction with my fellow students through the online database and during the residential weeks. Working on the group assignments is very intense and you get to know each other pretty well! I combine the MBA with work for an Indian NGO managing their communications. When our expat time in India ends I will get back to work. I am sure my MBA and my experiences in India will prove to be a very valuable asset in finding the right job."
