At ESSEC Business School, applications for the Sep 2026 intake close on Aug 31, 2026, and tuition fees are 44,391 USD per year.

The ESSEC Hybrid Executive MBA is anchored by an Augmented Digital Campus, utilizing a proprietary virtual classroom called 'The Deck' to bridge geographical divides for busy global professionals. This programme is specifically engineered for leaders who require the flexibility of a 70% online format while refusing to compromise on the intensity of high-level networking and international immersion.

Global Immersive Residencies

Participants engage in four intensive, in-person residencies across three continents:

• Paris, France (ESSEC Business School): Focused on core Leadership & Strategy.
• Cape Town, South Africa (UCT Graduate School of Business): Centered on Sustainability & Social Innovation.
• Hong Kong (HKUST Business School): Dedicated to the complexities of Doing Business in Asia.

Beyond the core curriculum, the programme distinguishes itself through a strong ethos of responsible leadership. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles are not merely an elective but a foundational pillar, integrated through dedicated courses, an ESG-focused project, and systemic coaching. The curriculum is further enhanced by exclusive exchange opportunities with prestigious partners like POLIMI and CEIBS, and a unique 'Lifetime of Global Residencies' policy that allows alumni to return to any EMBA residency worldwide for the rest of their careers.
