How to Apply for the Executive MBA or the Applied AI Option at smcuniversity.com

Updated

Both routes use the same application process through Transknowlogy, and both carry € 990 total tuition. To apply, choose your route — Executive MBA alone, or Executive MBA plus the six Applied AI courses — review the program terms, then submit your application through Transknowlogy, which handles the application, contract, and tuition process. The degree title is the same either way: Executive Master of Business Administration.

The two application routes

Route What it includes Tuition Degree awarded
Executive MBA Twelve assessed management courses plus a Thesis Research Project (90 ECTS, 2,250 hours of study) € 990 total Executive Master of Business Administration
Executive MBA + Applied AI The same required Executive MBA courses plus six additional Applied AI courses € 990 total Executive Master of Business Administration

The Applied AI courses supplement the required courses without increasing tuition, and they are delivered fully online and self-paced like the rest of the program.

Before you apply

Confirm two things first:

  • Which route you want. The Applied AI option adds six courses at no extra tuition, so the choice is about workload and focus rather than cost. The degree title does not change.
  • The program terms. The page directs applicants to review the program terms before submitting. This is where you should check the details that matter to you — registration period, assessment requirements, and what "approved academic progress" means for the 12-month completion plan.

How to submit your application

  1. Go to the application entry point. The page provides two apply links: one for the Executive MBA alone and one for the Executive MBA with Applied AI. Both lead to the same € 990 total tuition.
  2. Submit through Transknowlogy. Transknowlogy provides the application, contract, tuition process, online learning environment, and student support. Your application and contract are handled there, not by the domain that presents the offer.
  3. Expect academic decisions from Signum Magnum College. Signum Magnum College makes academic admission and final-result decisions, maintains the official academic record, and awards the Executive MBA. Admission is therefore not decided by Transknowlogy.

Who does what

Three parties have distinct roles, and knowing them helps you route questions correctly:

  • Transknowlogy — application, contract, tuition process, online learning environment, student support.
  • Signum Magnum College — academic admission decisions, final-result decisions, official academic record, award of the Executive MBA.
  • Swiss Management Center — maintains the historic domain that presents the current Transknowlogy Executive MBA offer.

Timing and study format

  • Completion: 12 months is possible, depending on study intensity and approved progress. A 12-month plan requires sustained study and approved academic progress.
  • Normal maximum registration period: 4 years.
  • Attendance: fully online, self-paced, with no relocation or weekly campus attendance.

Common points to check before submitting

  • If you are targeting 12-month completion, confirm what "approved academic progress" requires, since the timeline depends on it.
  • If you want the Applied AI courses, use the Applied AI apply link rather than the standard one so the option is recorded with your application.
  • Direct admission and final-result questions to Signum Magnum College; direct application, contract, and tuition questions to Transknowlogy.
