The modules on offer are mainly included as elective modules in the EMBA program. As part of your EMBA, you must complete elective modules worth 22.5 ECTS credits, with one elective module typically equivalent to 4.5 ECTS.
Modules available include, for example:
- Business Model Innovation

- four to six modules: € 16,600 (+ VAT)
When you start your EMBA program within a year of completing the module, these fees will be fully compensated.
Please note that we require you to start your EMBA application process before you can take any of the modules. Please discuss with your Aalto EE contact person how to make the best selection of modules, prepare a study plan, meet the entry requirements, and proceed with the application process. We will help you with any questions you may have on starting your studies and finding the best solution for you.
Taking Flexible EMBA modules does not bind you to start EMBA studies with us. The fee compensation is valid for one year from completion, and the study credits are transferable for five years from completion.
