PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The Global Advanced Management Program is delivered across three periods in a unique hybrid format that combines the best of online and in-person learning, ensuring high-level flexibility that is compatible with your professional activity. Our innovative Blended approach is internationally recognized, allowing you to work as you learn and immediately apply insights to your own context.
The first two periods consist of weekly online classes held every Thursday and are designed to fit alongside your professional obligations without compromising on academic rigor or educational excellence. During these periods, you’ll have unparalleled access to a world-class faculty comprising executives from leading international companies and organizations.
Contrastingly, the third period comprises two immersive week-long residential sessions, bringing together program participants from diverse global backgrounds. These in-person sessions serve as an invaluable platform for fostering connections, collaborative endeavors, and the exchange of insights among high-caliber executives who share aligned ambitions.
