The Professional MBA at Riga Business School is the oldest and most prestigious MBA program in Latvia and is designed for busy professionals wanting to refine their skills and move up the career ladder.
The program provides students with a background in all of the functional areas of business.Core courses are mandatory for all students, and electives allow students to specialize their skills within specific areas of management and to suit their individual interests.
Students can obtain a General MBA or choose from three specializations - Marketing, Finance or IT.
The program has a flexible schedule with classes workdays from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Each semester students register for courses based on the course offer, the suggested sequence and personal considerations.
The RBS academic year has 3 semesters – Fall, Spring and Summer and our students can choose to take from 1-4 courses per semester. Most students prefer to take 2 courses per semester (two evenings per week). If she takes two courses per semester, the program can be completed in 2.5 years.
The Case Method requires active participation and discussion. Cases are also not only about individual learning or decisions, but also rely on the work of groups of co-learners. RBS has an agreement with Harvard Business School and has access to its many complex and insightful case studies. The case itself describes the scenario in the context of the events, people and factors that influence it within real business experiences. Every course of the Professional MBA program has cases that are discussed throughout the course. Although there is no substitute for experience, many of our students have said that case studies gave them the knowledge, the skills and confidence to deal effectively with a wide range of difficult decisions in their careers.
