”The last few years have tested leaders in ways no classroom ever could: a pandemic, an energy crisis, a war at the border, and the rise of AI. You have led through all of it. That is exactly the kind of leader Moldova needs.
At Chișinău Business School,world-class faculty will come to you, here in Chișinău. You will learn alongside some of Moldova’s strongest leaders, in a format designed for experienced professionals. International field trips will push you beyond your comfort zone.”
Elevate your leadership.
Transform your world.

”The future of a region is shaped not only by policy or capital, but by whether it educates the people capable of using both well. To build a business school of international standing in Moldova, in close partnership with business, is to create more than an educational institution. It is to create a reason for talent to stay.”

FAQ
Yes. CBS provides a dual-credential pathway. You earn a state-accredited Master’s Degree from ASEM (Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova), ensuring international recognition, combined with Executive Certificates from SSE Riga and IEDC-Bled School of Management, which are globally prestigious and recognized by top-tier employers.
The program is conducted entirely in English. This is crucial as our faculty consists of global experts from institutions like MIT, London Business School, and University of Cambridge. Proficiency in Business English is a requirement for admission to ensure all participants can engage deeply with the material and international peers.
The tuition fee of €22,500 covers all academic costs, course materials, and organized academic activities during the study trips to China (or USA) and Slovenia. However, individual travel costs (flights), visas, and accommodation are typically handled by the students, though CBS provides negotiated rates and logistical support.
Very selective. We limit each cohort up to 25 seats to ensure high-quality networking and personalized interaction with faculty. We look for a balanced mix of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and public sector leaders with at least 5-10 years of significant managerial experience.
The program uses a "low-residency" hybrid format designed specifically for executives. Classes typically meet in intensive 3 to 4 day modules, from Thursday to Sunday, once every month. This allows you to maintain your professional responsibilities while fully immersing yourself in the academic experience during module days.
The total program fee is €22,500 and covers all academic costs, course materials, and organized academic activities during the study trips to China (or USA) and Slovenia.We understand the financial commitment involved, so we offer flexible payment plans. The tuition can be paid in 3 installments spread across the 18-month duration of the program. Detailed payment schedules are provided alongside the offer letter to help you and your organization plan effectively.
Your journey starts with a personalized consultation with our Executive MBA Director, followed by submitting an online application. Within a few days, all applicants will be invited to complete an online Personality and Problem-solving test. This is followed within a week by an interview, which includes a business case review and a motivation discussion. Final decisions are communicated via a formal Offer of Admission within two weeks of the interview. Our holistic selection process prioritizes leadership potential, a proven professional track record, and the unique contribution you bring to the cohort’s diversity.
CBS offers a limited number of scholarships for high potential women leaders as well as exceptional candidates from the public sector. Please mention your interest during your individual consultation.
