The GSM Curriculum

"Changing the world starts by changing your worldview"

 

GSM key features
  • GSM offers a one-year experience in a Joint Programme (60 ECTS) available to 10 partner universities.

  • It can be combined with almost all HSG Master Programmes.
  • Access to a learning experience at the level of executive education, beyond what is usually available at the masters programme level.

  • Semester activities are interlinked in bootcamps, team building workshops, immersive learning, simulations and project labs.

  • Learning happens inside and outside of the classroom.

  • Meet and network with experienced faculty and company experts.

  • Provides an add-on certificate in addition to your regular master’s degree.

 

GSM is more than just a programme; it is a career-shaping international experience.

Depending on the specifics of your carrier programme and your study plan, there will be different ways of embedding the 2 GSM semesters.
This is how the 2 GSM semesters will look like:
