 Program Introduction:
The Asian Institute of Technology in cooperation with School of Management and the Norwegian Electricity Corporation will launch the International Executive MBA program with the specialization in Energy Management in Hanoi in August 2008. There is a very good compatibility of the specialization and the IEMBA. Specific sector issues in electricity, oil or gas can be accommodated in the case projects concentrating on specific issues in strategy, functional areas or problem solving. Additionally, the final project can be focused on a energy sector or relevant topic. The combination of course work (14 credits) and project (8 credits) would provide a very strong emphasis on energy management and relevant competencies or professionals in electricity or oil and gas.
Target Participants The target participants for this program are executive, managers and experts related to investment and financial management of power and related companies, managing, operating, maintaining of power plants, transmission and distribution as well as the operation of power markets field. |
Program structure:
| The EMBA program is conducted in English and can be completed in 16 months. For the convenience of working executives, the classes are conducted intensively 1 week in every month at AITCV (in Hanoi) Monday - Friday evenings (3 hours each) and two Saturdays and Sunday. Actual in-class coursework will require some 12-13 weeks, apart from in-company project work and case studies. Actual in-class coursework will take 13-14 weeks including 4 weeks at AIT in Bangkok. The program requires a period of 6 weeks residency at AIT (Bangkok) dividing into 3 trips. The participants will take some courses during the first two trips to Bangkok.
