Executive MBA (EMBA) at HWZ: effectively advancing leadership skills

An Executive MBA (EMBA) is designed for managers and experienced professionals who wish to take a holistic approach to management responsibilities – combining up-to-date business expertise, reflective leadership and a clear focus on practical implementation in their professional lives. At HWZ, you will deepen your skills in areas such as corporate management, digital transformation, organisational development and forward-looking leadership concepts while studying part-time in Zurich.

Who is an EMBA suitable for?

The EMBA is particularly suitable if you…

  • Already hold leadership responsibility (in line management, project management or both)

  • Make decisions with an overall entrepreneurial perspective

  • Wish to measurably enhance your impact as a leader

  • Aim not just to understand management topics, but to apply them in your own professional context.


The HWZ EMBA concept: practical, structured and compatible with professional employment

Part-time study – with a high degree of planning certainty

The EMBA programmes are structured to enable you to realistically combine further study with your professional commitments. For example, the EMBA in General Management comprises three semesters with approximately 60 attendance days over about 1.5 years, delivered in block formats with fixed study dates.

Learning with practical transfer to the workplace

You will work with case studies, practice-oriented tasks and interactive formats designed to strengthen your on-the-job performance. Especially in leadership roles, it is not only knowledge that counts, but also the ability to apply, prioritise and communicate it effectively in complex situations.

A network of equals

An EMBA thrives on dialogue with fellow students from a variety of industries and functions. This exchange fosters new perspectives, peer learning, and the development of a network that extends beyond the programme itself (including alumni potential).

Location Zurich – centrally accessible

HWZ is located in Zurich, close to the main station and Europaallee. This reduces travel times and helps you achieve a balance between work, further study and private life.
