Location of Zurich Elite Business School (ZEBS)

The IMP is an intensive, 18-month, post-graduate program designed to prepare high-potential graduates from top universities for high-level positions in the European industry and service sectors. The program takes place in Europe. ZEBS courses are taught by world class professors, consultants and senior managers from major corporations.

A major component of the program involves several real-world consulting projects that are sponsored by leading global corporations. These projects allow students to apply newly acquired skills and knowledge in the workplace, and aim to prepare them for managerial positions. This program also provides firms with the opportunity to develop future managers.

The international nature of the student body provides fellows with the opportunity to work together and exchange knowledge with skilled people from other countries and cultures, also enabling them to broaden their cross communication skills.

ZEBS is extremely selective, accepting maximum 10 candidates per year for the International Management Program. Candidates will complete a challenging 18-month training and educational program with the objective of becoming high potential managers and outstanding business leaders. The best candidates will not only have the desire to positively impact business society, but to also create broad-based prosperity around the world.

All fellows are supervised by mentors throughout the program, and are strongly supported by the entire network of ZEBS. Upon completion of the International Management Program, students will receive their Master's of Business Administration.

The primary objective of the International Management Program is to match high-potential candidates with full-time positions upon completion of the program.


Contents

The MBA program is comprised of 7 educational categories (22 business modules). Each of the 22 business modules consists of 3 seminar days at one of the ZEBS locations.

ZEBS also offers lectures given by business leaders from all over the world. These interactive presentations expose the student body to real-world business experience and open exchange of methodologies and information.
