International Executive MBA Programme
The HTW Chur offers this Executive MBA study course in collaboration with two tourism schools in Germany, the Steigenberger Akademie Bad Reichenhall and the European Institute of Hotel Management (Europäisches Institut für Hotelmanagement).
Duration and Class Schedule
The Executive MBA Programme includes 60 days of lectures which are spread over a period of 18 months. The lecture days are divided into 20 modules which are taught on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The MBA programmes generally commence in September. The lectures are held from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm (8.30-17.30). This schedule accommodates for the fact that most of the participants work fulltime during the course of their studies.
