Graduates of HEI/TEI are eligible for admission.

The Postgraduate Programme "Business & Organisation Management for Executives-Executive MBA" is implemented at the Democritus University of Thrace (D.U.Th) in Kavala, by the Department of Management Science and Technology. The main objective of the Executive MBA Program is to attract candidates who wish to develop their skills as effective managers of businesses and organizations.

The courses are 100% distance learning. Full and part-time study is possible and is designed to support students with different academic and professional backgrounds. Since 2012, more than 200 students have graduated and are working as managers in different sectors of the private and public sector.

The recent (May 2021) modification of the curriculum is an effort to renew it with modern subjects and new courses such as Negotiations, People and Organization Management, Business Planning, Start-ups and Design Thinking, Digital Marketing, etc. This renewal goes hand in hand with new partnerships in the Executive MBA academic staff with distinguished scholars as well as professional staff members, with PhDs and rich experience in the business world.

In addition to the continuous improvement of the educational process and the upgrading of knowledge in such a way that it keeps pace with the high demands of businesses and organizations, the Executive MBA programme aims at the extroversion of students and lecturers through their participation in international forums such as Euroweek, in international conferences, in business games with the participation of students from Greek and foreign universities, etc. Also, a key priority is the connection with the market through invitations to private and public sector executives in each course of the programme.

The structure of the Postgraduate Executive MBA Programme of the IHU is based on the logic of three semesters, where the first semester focuses on subjects that develop basic knowledge and management skills at a functional level and the second semester on a strategic level. During the third semester, the thesis is carried out, while through specialized workshops and business games, postgraduate students are given the opportunity to understand the process and the logic of synthesizing the knowledge acquired during the two previous semesters in order to successfully make comprehensive strategic decisions.
