Management, Hult International Business School is the world’s only truly
global business school and has been at the forefront of educating global
business leaders since 1964. In a world that is increasingly intercon-
nected, it is the people who can transcend nationality and culture who will
thrive in the international business world. We specialize in training global
business leaders. At Hult, you will find some of the finest academic minds
as well as one of the most diverse student bodies. We are dedicated to

meaningfully to your business and community. To this end, we seek indi-
viduals who are ready to be actively engaged in the global economy both

combination of Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, and Shanghai. It is
clear that success in business is no longer confined to one location—that’s
why we help our students get plugged into the world.

What Makes Us Different?
For over 40 years, we have attracted top international students to
our business school. Our campuses around the world help train
global business leaders. What makes us so successful?
Hult is in the world’s top 1% of best business schools
Hult is ranked in the top
20 business schools in the
U.S. and top 30 in the world
by The Economist (2010),
and currently ranks in the
Financial Times’ top 100
business schools in the world (up 31 places from
2010). These rankings recognize our uniquely
international focus, the quality of our program
and faculty, and our exceptional student body
and alumni network. Our students’ ability to find
employment and increase their earning power, as
well as the diversity of the industries they enter
after completion, are key factors represented in
these rankings.
Hult’s Global Campus Rotation provides an extraordinary opportunity to study in the world’s fastest growing economies
An international perspective
is crucial to understanding
today’s business issues. Hult’s
Global Campus Rotation
Program allows students to
gain critical insights into the
world’s key economies. Students begin at their
home campus in either Boston, San Francisco,
London, Dubai, or Shanghai, where they will
receive the same fully accredited education using
an identical curriculum. During their elective
modules, students are given the option to rotate
to up to two other Hult campuses, expanding
their international exposure and global networks.
Going beyond the classroomWe turn conventional classroom
learning on its head—with
cutting-edge technology,
executive speakers, and
innovative fast-track programs.
All incoming MBA and Master
students are given an iPad with access to virtual
tutorial sessions, where they can take learning
to the next level. Expert tutors will help students
navigate any trouble areas or answer any questions
they may run into during their degree, through a
series of optional virtual tutorial sessions. HultTV, a
web-streaming platform, allows students to access
our classrooms at any time, from anywhere, and to
watch Hult professors and classmates debate live
or top speakers present current trends and industry
insights. We also ensure that our students are
exposed to leading business experts and industry
professionals with our Executive Speaker
Series, hosted across all campuses. Current
speakers include Steve Forbes, President and
CEO of Forbes magazine, and John Sculley, former
President of PepsiCo. Past speakers have included
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, and Michael
Dukakis, former U.S. Presidential candidate.
Hult’s LEAP Method—board-level training at a Fortune 500 company*
Hult is the pioneer of Action
Learning, integrating classroom
teaching with real-life situations.
Our curriculum is based on
three components: “Learn,”
“Experience,” and “Action
Project”—the LEAP Method.
Theory is taught in the classroom through lectures
and required readings. The theory is then put to
the test through case studies of actual business
problems and business simulations. An integral
part of our LEAP Method is the Action Project,
which gives you the chance to apply the skills you
learned in the classroom and to work as part of a
small team focused on solving a current business
problem for the world’s leading companies.
A truly international student body
For over 40 years, we have
been training leaders from all
over the world. Our current
student body is made up of
experienced professionals
from over 80 countries. The
breadth of experience, insight, and cultural
perspectives that our students bring to the
classroom creates an extraordinary learning
environment.
Our world-class faculty possess real-world business experience
Hult’s global faculty has
outstanding academic
credentials combined with
extensive real-life experience
running and managing
successful international
businesses and consultancies. Many are
actively engaged as directors of corporations,
consultants, or managers of growth companies.
Companies who participate in Hult’s Action
Projects:
*MBA and Undergraduate students only.
Top-Ranked Business Programs
The Economist (2010) ranked Hult
International Business School in the top
20 business schools in the U.S. and top
30 in the world. Hult currently ranks in the
Financial Times’ top 100 business schools
in the world (up 33 places from 2010), and
is 1st in International Experience and 5th in
International Business.

Global Campus Rotation
An international perspective is crucial to understanding
today’s business issues. Hult’s programs offer an
extraordinary opportunity to live and study at any of
our campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London,
Dubai, or Shanghai.
Live and study in some of the world’s most
influential cities
Hult’s Global Campus Rotation gives you the
chance to study at up to three of our five
campuses. This provides Hult students with a
unique opportunity to experience firsthand the
emerging markets of the Middle East or China,
or to develop a broad network of corporate
contacts across multiple continents. Once you
start your program on your home campus, you
can decide where to take elective courses.
Imagine starting your degree in London and then
spending time in Shanghai before graduating in
Boston—it’s a truly life-changing experience that
only Hult can deliver.
Seamless experience, from Hult to Hult
Our Global Campus Rotation program is fully
integrated into our curriculum. In contrast to
most business schools that offer their students
study abroad opportunities through exchange
programs with other schools, Hult prides itself
on being the full provider of the Global Campus
Rotation. No matter which Hult campus you
are on, you will use the same electronic library,
Course Management System, Career Services,
and Student Services. Our global campus
network ensures that your academic experience
is uninterrupted and hassle-free.
Bringing the study of international business
to life
The advantage of our Global Campus Rotation is
immediately clear when you consider the benefits
of learning international business in a global
setting. Discuss Islamic finance at our Dubai
campus and then enjoy a fascinating roundtable
discussion with the leading bankers of the
region. Debate a case study at our Shanghai
campus about the manufacturing industry and
go on a factory tour of the world’s largest textile
factory the next day. International business
cannot be taught in the classroom—nothing
can replace the experience of really getting
an on-the-ground understanding of what is
happening in different parts of the world.
“Our Global Campus Rotation is at the center of
our mission to educate global business leaders.
This unique program allows our students to gain
a truly international perspective and experience
firsthand the business practices of some of the
world’s most exciting economies.”
Dr. Stephen Hodges
President of Hult International Business School
Expand your international network
Engage with classmates from other campuses
during your Global Campus Rotation. Build
valuable contacts as you study alongside new
faces and learn from different faculty on our
campuses. The Career Services and Student
Services teams on each campus will ensure
that you have many opportunities to network
with your peers and industry professionals alike.
No other school offers such an opportunity to
graduate with a valuable network of friends and
contacts all over the world.
“Shanghai was a tremendous eye-opener. During
my rotation, I acknowledged what I’ve been
reading in newspapers for months—China is
truly the new direction of the global economy
and Shanghai is the fi nal destination for future
decision makers. Chinese people are eager
to learn, understand, and be understood. As
a modern leader, you just cannot miss the
opportunity to live and work in China ... and
master eating with chopsticks!”
Alessandro Apicella
Italy, Class of 2010
“The most valuable thing Hult has provided me is
the opportunity to connect with people from differ-
ent parts of the world. By interacting with people
from every continent, you learn about different
customs and business practices and how the for-
mer may affect the latter. This helps you prepare
for a career in any part of the world.”
Lola Adenkan
Nigeria, Class of 2010

When: Module C or D
Focus: Hult MBA students who would like to certify their expertise in a chosen subject area can earn gradu-
ate-level professional certificates. These certificates are specifically designed to demonstrate to an employer
that a level of expertise has been reached beyond that commonly required of an MBA graduate. They attest
that the materials and techniques utilized are consistent with modern principles and best practices, and are
evidence of knowledge and skills that can be used immediately. Students can earn a certificate within the
one-year MBA program. Each certificate comprises a total of 9 credit hours of tuition plus an exam.
Certificates (optional)
Certificate in Finance Management
of financial affairs is the foremost
priority in any business. Consequently,
an understanding of the principles for
building and sustaining the financial
health of a firm will strengthen the
value of any professional involved in
business. The Certificate in Finance
gives students a broad, thorough, and
up-to-date foundation in finance and the
practical tools needed to be successful
in a financial management role. The
certificate can be earned by studying
three finance electives. These electives
cover a wide range of topics from
financial statement analysis and Islamic
banking and to derivatives and equity
valuation.
Certificate in Solutions Marketing In
today’s hyper-competitive marketplace,
a successful organization needs to
be seen by its customers as a trusted
advisor and problem solver. Vendors
can no longer simply announce the
introduction of a new product innovation
and expect customers to flock to their
websites and retail outlets. Instead,
their marketing must answer the key
customer question, “How can your
product solve my problem, improve my
operations, or contribute significantly to
my financial situation?” This is known
as Solutions Marketing. A successful
Solutions Marketer needs to be a
combination of a “change agent, fortune
teller, and resource integrator.” With
intense competition for employment
as a marketing professional, the
Certificate in Solutions Marketing gives
students an edge over other candidates
because of the special skills and
knowledge that they will acquire in this
rapidly growing area. The Certificate
is designed specifically for marketing
professionals who are looking to
differentiate themselves and who seek a
deeper understanding of new aspects of
marketing that are not possible to gain
through a standard MBA.
Certificate in Innovation Successfully
managing innovation requires people
with the skills and confidence to act
on opportunities in rapidly changing
environments. Learn the critical
approaches to managing innovation
from “Concept to Customer.” Successful
completion of the program recognizes
demonstrated knowledge, skills, and
practice in Innovation Strategy, Innovation
Capacity, and Innovation Discipline.
Developed in partnership with the Global
Innovation Management Institute—a
professional membership organization
composed of innovation executives,
academics, and practitioners—Hult’s
Certificate in Innovation expands your
mind and skill set.
Certificate in Strategic Equity
Valuation This certificate identifies
individuals who have gained a higher-
level understanding of what drives
business value and stock prices. Based
on the latest techniques employed by
leading investment banks and hedge
funds, a qualitative and quantitative
framework for better planning and
analyzing businesses is the focus.
The Certificate in Strategic Equity
Valuation covers advanced quantitative
methods for evaluating and predicting
stock market valuations. The Institute
of Strategy & Valuation, a group of
professional investment managers,
corporate advisors, and business
leaders, designed this certificate.
Certificate in Management
Consulting Effective business leaders
can dissect complex problems,
develop plans, and provide meaningful
recommendations. Many of the most
powerful business frameworks, skills,
and behaviors have been developed by
leading management consultants. These
consulting skills and competencies
are no longer the exclusive territory of
external professional services, as the
world’s leading companies increasingly
employ them. Developed jointly by
Hult and the Center for Innovation,
Excellence and Leadership, the
Certificate in Management Consulting
covers the techniques employed by the
world’s leading consulting companies:
McKinsey, Bain, Monitor, and Boston
Consulting Group.

Executive MBA
Hult’s Executive MBA program, offered in London and Dubai,
is designed to suit professionals with specific scheduling
needs. From a minimum of 18 months to a maximum of five
years, our flexible MBA degree can be completed at your
own pace on either a weekly or monthly basis. On average,
Hult Executive MBA students graduate in two years.
A Flexible MBA Program
Recognizing that busy professionals have differing
commitments, we offer our Executive MBA pro-
gram in two schedules—Weekly or Monthly—to
ensure efficient commitment of your time. So
whether you are based in the same city or region
as our campuses, or commute, we have a
schedule that suits your requirements.
Weekly Executive MBA schedule
Our weekly schedule is optimal for professionals
and executives who live or work near Hult’s
Dubai or London campuses and can study on a
weekly basis.
On average, you will attend the program three
evenings per week and on a limited number
of weekends over 24 months. In recognition
that some students may be unable to attend
a particular course as scheduled, we offer
students the opportunity to make up the course
when it is offered again. Accordingly, students
may complete the Executive MBA program in a
minimum of 18 months or a maximum of 5 years
from their start date.
Monthly Executive MBA schedule
Our monthly schedule is optional for
professionals and executives who are within
three hours’ flying time of Dubai or London and
can study on a monthly basis.
This track requires four intense days and
evenings per month and can be completed over
24 months. The program is spread over the
weekend and first days of the week. In between
sessions, you will be assigned individual and
team assignments. In recognition that some
students may be unable to attend all courses
due to business reasons, we allow students
to take the course when it is next offered, at
no extra charge. Accordingly, students may
complete the program in a minimum of 18
months and a maximum of 5 years from
their start date.

Meet the challenges of a
global marketplace
A strong understanding of how the world is
interconnected through finance, marketing,
operations, technology, and strategy gives
students an immediate head start in launching
their careers. This degree is particularly well
suited for recent university graduates (business
and non-business majors) who do not have
extensive work experience. The program is also
appropriate for people who have some limited
work experience but seek to move into the
international business realm.
Curriculum combines hard skills with les-
sons in decision making and strategy
Hult’s Master of International Business curricu-
lum delivers an understanding of today’s global
marketplace. Initially, students focus on learning
the hard skills in international finance, marketing,
operations, and strategy. Subsequently, gradu-
ates also gain the analytical, problem-solving,
and critical-thinking skills necessary to make
decisions in a rapidly evolving, cross-cultural
world. Through a combination of case study dis-
cussions and lectures, students will also acquire
presentation and communication skills neces-
sary to work and excel in multinational settings
and companies.
Career opportunities for Master of
International Business graduates
This Master program opens up opportunities
in a wide range of companies—from multina-
tionals to start-up ventures. Hult’s Master of
International Business degree not only provides

onstrates to future employers a high level of
expertise. Graduates are highly sought after by

Manager, and Junior Consultant.
A seamless path to a rewarding future

of work experience and an additional 19 credits
with no re-application requirements.

Master of Digital Marketing
Jump start your career straight
from university
Marketing has changed for good. Digital media
now plays a vital role in most advertising
campaigns and digital marketing has already
become a massive USD55 billion global industry.
In many markets, online advertising expenditure
has already overtaken television expenditure and
is set to triple in size over the next five years. As
a result, all marketers must have an in-depth
understanding of digital techniques. Those who
do will find themselves in great demand; those
who don’t will be forever playing catch-up. Hult is
one of the first business schools in the world to
offer a Master of Digital Marketing degree to equip
students with the strategic business and marketing
skills necessary to thrive in today’s digital age.
A highly relevant education in both business
and digital marketing
Hult’s Master of Digital Marketing has been
designed in collaboration with the leading
provider of best practice and education for the
digital sector, Econsultancy. During a single
year, students will gain core skills in finance,
accounting, strategy, and general management,
as well as internet marketing, web analytics,
and search engine optimization. Master-
level knowledge in both business and digital
marketing provides a platform for a diverse and
exciting range of career opportunities.
The key to a promising career
Our program equips you with the knowledge
and practical skills needed to become the digital
marketing “whiz” in any organization. Graduates
will be able to manage online campaigns and can
expect to work for employers such as advertising
agencies (e.g., BBDO, DDB, and WPP) advising
clients on their digital marketing strategies; retail
and fast moving consumer goods companies
(e.g., Tesco, John Lewis, and Procter & Gamble)
that increasingly market their products and
services online; or technology companies (e.g.,
Google and Microsoft) that are shaping the digital
marketing arena. Potential jobs include: Online
Marketing Manager, e-commerce Manager, Web
Analyst Manager, Online Business Optimization
Specialist, and Social Media Manager.
Action Project provides hands-on experience
Conduct a groundbreaking study on blogging or
devise an e-marketing strategy for a real-world
company; Hult’s Action Projects allow you to
gain practical business and digital marketing
skills while helping actual businesses address
issues around innovation and growth.
Digital marketing is about how we communicate using
digital media and how companies can use these channels
to promote their products effectively. Hult’s Master of
Digital Marketing covers every aspect of digital marketing.

Master of Social Entrepreneurship
Change yourself, change the world
Hult’s Master of Social Entrepreneurship is a pio-
neering program that provides students with the
key knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience
needed to become effective leaders in this grow-
ing field. Students will be based in London—a
city teeming with entrepreneurs—tackling the
world’s problems through innovative solutions.
An in-depth exploration of social-political
issues and business realities
Social entrepreneurs tackle complex issues, from
fighting poverty, finding solutions to environmen-
tal and human rights issues, to increasing the
availability of quality education for low-income
students. Practitioners in this field must under-
stand contemporary global issues and be adept
at mustering and mobilizing human, financial,
and political resources to support their cause.
Because of this multi-faceted approach, Hult’s
Master of Social Entrepreneurship provides stu-
dents with equal measures of business skills,
knowledge of how to navigate social and political
issues, and a full understanding of how to make
social change happen.
The Hult Master of Social Entrepreneurship offers
comprehensive coverage of academic theory and key
global issues, as well as an in-depth exploration of the
economic, financial, and management practices that can
be applied to solving real-world social problems.

Action Projects provide hands-on experience
Social Entrepreneurship is about “thinking” and
“doing.” Hult’s Action Projects ask students to
generate solutions to global problems. This can
include developing innovative social responsibility
or sustainability strategies or corporate clients
or leading NGOs, or consulting for government
agencies and think-tanks on policy options to
combat social barriers. Hult’s Master of Social
Entrepreneurship is unique in providing students
with these opportunities—not just in the class-
room, but in the field. Hult’s Action Projects, the
capstone of the program, challenge students to
put the knowledge and skills they have learned
to the test as they consult for actual organiza-
tions facing real-world international challenges.
Career opportunities for Master of Social
Entrepreneurship graduates
Hult’s Master of Social Entrepreneurship equips
you with the ability to think globally and with the
confidence, skill, and drive to solve large-scale
problems. Graduates will be empowered to act
as effective leaders of change, and typically
work in the following sectors:
• NGO management
• Public policy
• The United Nations and other international
development agencies
• Corporate social responsibility departments
within multinational organizations

sustainability, or innovation strategies
