Executive Education

In addition to its undergraduate, Master’s and PhD programmes, the Faculty of Business and Economics is developing targeted training programmes for professionals, executives and senior executives. As a result, people can deepen their knowledge and develop their skills at every stage of their career.

All these programs benefit from the knowledge of the faculty’s experts and its vast network, supporting interdisciplinary courses developed with other faculties at UNIL or other institutions, operating in Switzerland or abroad.

With an experience of more than 10 years, the Executive MBA is recognised as one of the leading EMBAs of Switzerland. It benefits from an international aura, recognised by its rankings and accreditations. The programme is oriented towards applied knowledge in practical business reality. It helps mid-career professionals transform their career, seize new opportunities and reflect on their personality and performance. In addition, a focus area, chosen between Healthcare Management and Management & Corporate Finance, addresses current challenges that both dynamic sectors face.
