The EMBA in International Management (IM) can be structured very differently depending on the Universities. For example, the Executive MBA at Bern University of Applied Sciences in the IM specialization consists of four CAS certificate courses and a Master's thesis. "Business Administration" and "International Business Development and Sourcing" are compulsory modules, as are study trips to India, China, the USA and within Europe. Optional CASs include Change Management, Strategic Corporate Management, Business Model Innovation and Systemic and Agile Project Management.

At HSO, the EMBA consists of the courses Pre-EMBA (for students with no knowledge of business administration), Propaedeutic, Managing the Corporation, Global Business, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Finance & Risk, Compulsory Elective and Capstone Module. In addition, there are specializations in either Change Management, Marketing or Innovation Management.

The EMBA is a continuing education master's degree aimed at managers in administration and business. Thanks to its practical and part-time orientation, it is ideal for continuing to work while working at least 50% or even full-time and putting what you have learned directly into practice. The Executive MBA, which is offered in various specializations, is the ideal continuing education, further training for managers, which enjoys a high reputation, but also requires a high degree of commitment and willingness to learn from graduates. The EMBA is a generalist continuing education, further training course which, unlike the MAS, for example, is only based in the field of business studies.
