Di Close launches condensed Executive Education Core MBA for busy executives

Di Close, together with Di Akademi and River Jump, has introduced the Executive Education Core MBA – a shortened, affordable alternative to traditional MBA programmes. Designed for managers with limited time, the course comprises five two‑day modules delivered over roughly a year, totaling about ten teaching days compared with the usual 50‑60 days. The curriculum focuses on core business‑leadership topics, with the aim of providing a practical “driving licence” for decision‑makers. Program development was led by Gunnar Ekman and Jennie Brobeck, both experienced in executive education, and the offering was presented by Niklas Grewin, business manager at Di Close.

The initiative seeks to remove typical barriers to MBA study, such as cost, time constraints and the need to pause work responsibilities, by delivering content in a condensed format and at a lower price point, making it accessible to a broader range of senior professionals.
