You don’t learn leadership as a fixed model. You develop it continuously — by reflecting on your behavior, receiving feedback, and experimenting with how you lead in different contexts.
20 months
You explore business challenges where technology, data and economics intersect. You learn to navigate complexity rather than reduce it to simple answers.
Zurich
From deep dives into specific disciplines to systems thinking and big-picture perspectives, you constantly shift focus to see more clearly and decide more responsibly.
Your first semester is dedicated to business fundamentals – strategy, accounting, finance, entrepreneurship, economics, and marketing. This creates a shared foundation across the cohort and prepares you to engage more deeply with complex topics as the programme develops.
Semester 2 and 3
Semester 2 and 3
Electives – three layers of choice
As you move forward, you shape your own path. The elective structure is deliberately broad, giving you access to three layers of courses.
This breadth is intentional. Your career will not follow a fixed path – and your electives should not either.
MBA electives
16+ courses designed specifically for this programme, focused on the intersection of technology, business, and leadership
MTEC department courses
50+ courses from the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics, allowing you to go deeper into research-led topics across strategy, innovation, and organizations
ETH Zurich courses
selected courses from across one of the world’s leading technical universities, for those who want to engage directly with emerging science, engineering, or sustainability challenges

Throughout all semesters
Leadership development
Running alongside the academic curriculum is a dedicated leadership programme – focused on self-awareness, reflection, and the ability to lead effectively in environments that are constantly evolving. You will find more on this in the next section.
Career development
Learning something new only creates impact if you move into a position where you can use it. That is why career development is built into the programme from the start – not as an afterthought, but as a practical thread running through your two years with us.
