Online MBA Degree

EMBA from Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration at Chulalongkorn University

Teamwork
While individual assignments are required, study groups and teamwork are essential to the EMBA experience with many class projects assigned to groups, rather than to individuals. EMBA participants typically form groups of five to seven members with diverse academic and/or professional backgrounds. Throughout the program, EMBA students learn how to work effectively with others, enhance their skills in working as part of a team, and develop personal friendships and life-long networking.

Classes
Classes are normally scheduled Wednesdays from18:00 to 21:15 and Saturdays from 8:30 to 16:30. Occasionally, make-up classes are held at other times. Regular class attendance is required. Students are expected to attend all sessions of courses for which they are registered and will be allowed to take examinations only if they satisfy an 80% attendance requirement. Participants should expect informal group meeting once or twice a week to work on case studies and should expect to spend at least 15 hours per week in out-of-class study.
