I have the pleasure of sharing with you my experience at two of the most prestigious business and management schools. After two years of hard work in the dual DBA program between two honourable business schools, SSBM in Switzerland and EMAS in Russia. I have a Bachelor of Commerce in France, and a Master MsC from the UK and I am a full time employee. My new experience studying full program of strategic management in SSBM and EMAS is interesting, different, and unique. This journey was between study and practice; our intermediate project is a real-life, and update implementation of what we learn from business modelling, analysing, forecasting,

I have studied the SSBM (Swiss School of Management) and EMAS Doube Degree for Strategic Management. While it is one of the more affordable programmes on the market, all online courses were very educational and provide a huge amount of flexibility in terms of studying (I am a full-time employee which is tough doing both at the same time but doable). I found the flexibility of the programme very good and generally was also happy with the broad variety of courses offered and the strong focus on Strategic Management.

When I saw the course outline I was excited and as I began to study it became even more intriguing. What I found most interesting was the practical approach to every course. It gave me the right tools to apply to my everyday work and life. For instance I was able to apply Time Management, Project Management, Process Management and even Sales skills while still studying the same, to achieve very positive results, both in my personal life and in the company where I work. I even extended some of my learnings to my team members at work, like getting them to carryout psychometric tests I got from the study to determine personality types and how best to structure the team for performance. I learnt the interconnections and dependencies in business and how there are best suited cultures for each strategy/goals of a company. In all it has been a very interesting time well spent. A warning ⚠️ though, it has not been a walk in the park – very hard work. As the saying goes, nothing good (quality) comes easy.

This program is mostly linked to the practical work. You will also be trained in theoretical tools, but most of these were already part of the previous training. I really enjoyed the training. It has a high international standard. The learning management system is well developed and the student care is timely and helpful. If you are a self starter, the program is well worth considering.

As a student at the end of my career rather than the beginning, I was looking for somewhere to teach me business in a different way, not more of the same. EMAS has given me a new perspective, a new set of resources and new connections. There are some language difficulties and some frustrations with studying outside of your comfort zone. But EMAS was just the fresh injection of thoughts and ideas that I was looking for.

EMAS Business school has comprehensively designed DBA program, it ideal for any one seeking to standard out and position as a subject expert in their profession. I found the program to engaging with opportunities for practical application of the various concept/tools taught by EMAS. I also considered their tuition fees to be affordable compared to some other business schools evaluated for a similar program.

I am doing the Swiss Russian Dual Degree DBA program in Strategic management, the best portion of the program is done in Emas. I am really impressed in the way of teaching and the flexibility of choosing in campus or online program without compromising the quality irrespective of the platform of the study. I highly recommend Emas for the fulfilling your higher educational goals and explore the new endeavors.
