Dual Degree in MBA + Operations & Supply Chain

General management training meets senior operational expertise

Dual-Degree_Leadership-Business

Overview

A Dual Degree that pairs the Full-Time MBA’s general management training with a second year focused on advanced, applied and senior-level expertise through the Executive Master in Global Operations & Manufacturing. Designed for candidates with high career ambitions who want to move quickly toward roles of greater responsibility and decision-making authority.

After consolidating a rigorous business foundation in Year 1, students deepen their expertise in Operations & Manufacturing through a part-time executive format in Year 2 — enabling professional engagement alongside advanced study. The result is a graduate who enters the market with the strategic authority of an MBA and the applied expertise of a senior specialist.

Why This Combination

Operations and manufacturing management at senior level requires both the strategic perspective to understand the full business context and the applied expertise to lead complex industrial systems. The MBA provides the former; the GEMOS Executive Master develops the advanced operational leadership capabilities — lean manufacturing, global operations strategy, supply network design — that senior roles in industrial and manufacturing companies demand.
