Executive Education

The Executive Education section explores the programmes, institutions and leadership trends shaping the development of Europe’s senior executives. From MBA and EMBA rankings to advanced leadership courses, digital transformation modules and sector-specific training, we cover the pathways that help business leaders adapt to rapid technological, economic and geopolitical change.

Here you’ll find updates on Europe’s leading business schools, corporate academies, online learning platforms and executive programmes focused on AI, strategy, finance, governance, innovation and sustainability. We analyse how executive education is evolving in response to new pressures — including remote learning, rising tuition competition, shorter-format programmes and the demand for practical, applied skills.

Our features look at how organisations are investing in leadership development to stay competitive, retain talent and support digitalisation. We also report on emerging trends such as micro-credentials, specialised masterclasses, tech-focused executive programmes, and the rise of cross-border partnerships between universities, corporates and consultancies.

From career transitions to board-level capability building, the Executive Education category provides insight into the skills European leaders need — and where they are being taught. Scroll below to explore news, interviews and analysis from the world of high-level leadership development.
