BMI Executive Institute continues to strengthen the international profile of its Executive MBA programme by offering a first-time dual international experience for its participants. For the January 2026 EMBA cohort, executives will, for the first time, complete two international modules as part of the core curriculum: alongside the existing module in South Korea, they will take a Strategy on-site course at @HEC Paris, one of the world’s leading business schools and a founding partner of BMI Executive Institute. The HEC Paris module will take place on 8–9 October 2026, giving participants direct access to a globally recognised academic environment and world-class faculty.
A Strategic Partnership
“Our partnership with HEC Paris has been central to the international quality of the BMI EMBA for many years. Enabling our participants to study directly at HEC Paris is a natural next step in offering an executive education experience that is truly global,” – Jurga Bendikaitė-Ursavaş, Director General, BMI Executive Institute.
The opportunity will be available exclusively to participants of the January 2026 EMBA intake. Participants completing the course will receive an official HEC Paris course completion certificate, further strengthening the international recognition and value of their EMBA studies.
Strengthening the International Dimension of the BMI EMBA
The BMI Executive MBA is designed for executives operating in complex, global environments and is built around a strong international orientation, combining global faculty, diverse executive cohorts, and international learning experiences. Alongside the international module in Asia already included in the programme, the opportunity to study at HEC Paris further expands the programme’s global reach and academic depth.
HEC Paris: A Global Benchmark in Executive Education
HEC Paris is not only one of the world’s most respected business schools – it is also a founding partner of BMI Executive Institute, contributing for many years to the academic quality and international perspective of BMI programmes. BMI already works closely with HEC Paris faculty, integrating carefully selected academic and practitioner expertise into the programme. This initiative marks an important next step in the partnership: from bringing HEC Paris expertise to BMI, to enabling BMI participants to learn directly at HEC Paris.
HEC Paris’ programmes are consistently ranked among the very top worldwide in the major international rankings, notably those published by QS and the Financial Times.
HEC Paris is also among a very limited number of business schools globally to hold all three major international accreditations: EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA.
An Immersive Executive Experience
Recognised for its strength in strategy research, global faculty, and strong links to international business and policy environments, HEC Paris offers executives exposure to ideas and perspectives shaping global markets. Studying on campus provides immersion in a distinct academic culture and direct engagement with world-class faculty – an opportunity typically available only to a small number of executive programmes worldwide.
Exclusively for the January 2026 EMBA Cohort
This on-campus learning experience at HEC Paris is offered exclusively to the January 2026 EMBA cohort. It reflects BMI Executive Institute’s continuous effort to curate exceptional learning opportunities that meet the highest international standards and respond to the evolving needs of senior executives.
While this experience is designed specifically for this cohort, BMI remains committed to consistently elevating the quality of its programmes and actively exploring future international collaborations that add meaningful value for its participants. Initiatives such as this underline BMI’s ambition to deliver an Executive MBA that is globally relevant, academically rigorous, and firmly connected to leading international institutions.
