Study Structure and Locations

The Triple Executive MBA follows an immersive international learning structure spread across three key academic destinations under the VBNN Smart Education Group, allowing executives to experience distinct educational environments while maintaining a cohesive academic progression.

Participants begin their journey at ISB Academy Dubai (UAE), where they spend approximately 40 weeks focusing on executive innovation, entrepreneurship, and applied business management. This phase emphasizes strategic agility and leadership within dynamic emerging markets.

They then continue at the Swiss International University (SIU) campuses in Bishkek and Osh (Kyrgyzstan) for around 20 weeks, concentrating on research methodology, leadership theory, policy, and governance. This segment strengthens analytical thinking, academic depth, and cross-cultural leadership awareness.

Finally, the program concludes in Switzerland, where participants study for 20 weeks with the ISBM Business Management School in Zurich and Lucerne. This stage focuses on strategic leadership, corporate transformation, financial strategy, and European management excellence, combining advanced theoretical insight with practical executive application.

Through this 80-week rotation—40 weeks in Dubai, 20 weeks in Kyrgyzstan, and 20 weeks in Switzerland—participants gain a truly global perspective, uniting Middle Eastern innovation, Central Asian scholarship, and Swiss academic precision within one integrated executive learning experience.
