Edtech platform upGrad launched a one-year Executive MBA program in partnership with the Swiss School of Business and Management (SSBM) Geneva. It is ideally suited for managers who are looking for career acceleration without having to quit their jobs. This is the second programme with the university after the Doctor in Business Administration was launched earlier this year by the edtech company.
The executive MBA programme is designed to provide a 360-degree management experience to learners at 1/10th of the offline cost, says upGrad. It includes a holistic mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning in the form of live and recorded lectures by global faculty and industry leaders. 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.
