Executive Master of Science in Management

SummaryBenefitStructureApplicationReference

The Lorange Institute of Business Zurich’s Executive Master of Science in Management (Executive MSc) degree will do more than propel your career. It is a transformational experience.

The Executive Master of Science in Management (Executive MSc) is a master degree for professionals.

To meet the needs of practicing executives, our programs are regularly updated. Thus we will update our modules according to changing needs and timeliness.

The Executive MSc is a part-time studying program.

Here are 10 very excellent reasons why you should study at the Lorange Institute of Business Zurich:

Modular Study Program
The Lorange Institute prescribes which modules need to be attended by the students within the framework of their study program. The students in turn can decide for themselves when to attend which module. Many modules are offered several times a year, so that students can enter into the course at any time, which provides them with a high degree of flexibility for arranging their individual study plans.

World Class Faculty
Our professors are global experts in their fields. They typically come from other academic institutions for short teaching stints at our business school, bringing with them the latest insights in the fields of management and business.

Part-time Studying
All study courses can be completed as a part-time scheme. Job absence is reduced to a minimum, as many modules are offered at weekends or as compact two week blocks.

Modern Pedagogy
The student deals with the theory several times in each module: Before each module students work through a determined amount of special literature and take a pretest (test questions). This makes sure that all students start the module with solid basic knowledge. Then the students deal with the theory during the tutorial and during the evening team discussions. Finally the students complete an individual exam at the end of the module.

Zurich Living Case™
A central element of each core module is the Zurich Living Case™. Student teams elaborate solutions for consultancy tasks related to the subject at hand which are submitted to the Lorange Institute by different companies. Living Case solutions are presented by the teams to the representatives of the Living Case company.

Meeting Place Culture
The Lorange Institute is a debate forum, a meeting place where students, faculty members, and practitioners build networks and share insights, ideas and expertise.

Dual Degree
Successful graduates of an Executive MSc or Executive MBA study program are awarded both a Diploma of Lorange Institute of Business Zurich and presently with a Diploma of Ashridge Business School, UK.

ECTS
The individual programs provided by Lorange Institute are coordinated within the framework of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Credits awarded for any module can be transferred to another study program.

Lorange Campus
All modules take place at the modern Lorange Campus in an ideal learning environment right on the shores of Lake Zurich.

Accreditations
The Lorange Institute answers the quality of our degree programs by globally recognized accreditations and certifications.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you should have any questions.

The study program consists of four 12-day modules and three 2-day modules/workshops. Finally you have to take the 2-day module on Essentials of Academic Work, and also to write a Master Thesis.

To achieve an Executive MSc degree you have to complete the two 12-day modules Strategy and Finance. In addition, you choose 2 out of the 3 remaining 12-day modules. One of the core module has to correspond with your specialization. Your degree requires that you further complete the three 2-day modules belonging to the specialization.

Before you start your studies you have to choose a specialization that is most relevant for your business or your next career step and, therefore, generates the highest value. There is a choice of 4 specializations. Please click on the link to see the possible program configuration. For detailed information on the modules and workshops – its contents, speakers and dates – please click on the respective icons in the illustration.

Specializations: Behavioural Finance | Shipping | Talent Management | Modern Marketing

You may then continue for a Lorange Institute’s Executive MBA. If so you will have to complete another 12-day module and nine 2-day modules, plus to write another Master Thesis. Shall you elect not to write a MSc Thesis and settle for an EMBA Thesis solely – you will not receive the Executive Master of Science in Management degree.

You would like to continue with your education; however, you are still hesitant to take the big step associated with an Executive MSc?

One of the Lorange Institute’s innovation is the modular structure of programs thus you can book each module individually. Should you later decide on the EMSc program, your ECTS points will be transferred and the costs of the modules visited will be reimbursed as long as all application requirements are fulfilled.

International focus
"I experienced the richness of education through an international faculty, an international student body as well as international Living Cases, which provided key features for international Senior Mangement. At the Lorange Institute cross-cultural competence is more than a buzzword, it is an integral part of the study program."

Unparalleled faculty and peer learning
“I like the different kinds of people that are students in this business school. You have people from everywhere, with very different backgrounds. This allows you to learn things that you would not learn in other cases.

Furthermore, you really have the opportunity to be taught by professors from the best universities around Europe or around the world, and this is definitely a big plus.”

Unique structure designed for executives
"I have been in private banking all my life. Flexibility and creativity is becoming even more critical for our industry than before. The Lorange Institute is of great help."

Outstanding quality
The Lorange Institute offers an excellent environment for teaching because the level of students is quite high and there’s opportunity for a lot of interchange between the teachers and students. In order to find this level of quality, generally you have to be a much larger school. The combination of its small, intimate scale with its higher level is very appealing.”

Jeffrey Satinover, Faculty Member of Lorange Institute

Solid investment in your professional future
“At the Lorange Institute, I can build on my knowledge and on my past, to bring me and my career forward. The modules allow you to develop a kind of a language which really boosts your ability and is a guarantee for success on the C level.”
