Programme Overview

Intensive is EMA's 4-week option for learners who want more depth than a single 2-week seminar. Explore a rotating set of seminars across global business fundamentals and sustainability-led decision-making, from finance and strategy to ESG, ethics, sustainability, and cross-border law. You will follow two seminars in sequence across four weeks. It’s a focused way to sustain your learning rhythm over the summer.

Structure: 60 total hours (48 in-person + 12 online), ongoing assessment, and a Certificate of Completion. Credit equivalents are listed for reference (6 ECTS equivalent / 4 US credits equivalent). Your two topics depend on your start date.

If you want to combine the 4-week format with language classes, you can choose Summer Intensive + French or Summer Intensive + English. These language options are available only on the specific start dates listed below (not mid-cycle).

All information relating to the programmes is available on the website.

Intensive is a 4-week summer programme for learners who want more continuity than a single 2-week seminar. Depending on the option you choose, you will either follow two seminars in sequence or combine morning language classes with EMA seminars in the afternoon.

Intensive is the core 4-week format built around two seminars in sequence.

Intensive + French adds morning French classes to the 4-week format.

Intensive + English adds morning English classes to the 4-week format.

For the language options, the programme follows a full-day rhythm:

  • Language classes in the morning 
  • EMA seminars in the afternoon

This allows learners to work on the same themes across the day in both the language and seminar components.

  • Intensive: EMA campus
  • Intensive + French: French classes at CCFS in the morning, EMA seminars in the afternoon
  • Intensive + English: English classes with English Path (EP) in the morning, EMA seminars in the afternoon
