Admissions overview

For TRIUM students the return on investment is immediate. The needs of organizations in the 21st century are consistently evolving, and senior-level global executives must be equipped to conduct business efficiently in this dynamic global market. Organizations interested in developing key employees for positions of increasing global responsibility should consider TRIUM as a professional development opportunity. The internationally diverse TRIUM cohort also gives global executives the opportunity to build an important lifelong network. TRIUM alumni learn to think differently, becoming more innovative and open-minded business people, and they establish a global network of students, faculty and alumni.

For the individual, the result is career acceleration thanks to a newfound global and entrepreneurial approach toward business and a “15,000 meters up” perspective. For the sponsoring organization, the result is a stronger, more capable employee who in the short term can immediately apply what he or she is learning to the day-to-day job and in the longer term is equipped with the understanding, skill set, and contacts necessary to successfully navigate today’s global economy.

By joining TRIUM you will enter a remarkable network of high-achieving global business leaders. Their varied backgrounds, perspectives and areas of expertise make the relationships that form amongst TRIUM classmates one of the many powerful long-term benefits of the program. The TRIUM Global Executive MBA alumni currently number over 1,200 and reside in 100 countries.

By becoming part of TRIUM, students and alumni not only have direct access to this distinguished community, but they also have access to the alumni communities of our partners schools: HEC Paris, NYU Stern and LSE, with access to databases, libraries, events, lectures and sports facilities in New York, London and Paris.

TRIUM was the first Executive MBA program to integrate into its curriculum a study of the economic, social, and political context in which business decisions are made today. These areas, so critical to conducting global business in the 21st century, are often neglected in “traditional” MBA programs. In contrast, TRIUM students will focus on global socio-economic and political contexts at London School of Economics. Together with NYU Stern’s widely recognized strength in finance and accounting and HEC Paris’s leadership in marketing and management, plus top-ranked faculty who teach in every learning location, this combination ensures academic rigor and excellence throughout the program.

We accept and review applications on a rolling basis and have a series of application deadlines throughout the year. We encourage applicants to apply as early as possible in order to have sufficient time to start their preparations to join the program. We provide candidates with decisions usually within one month of application submission.

Applicants will be asked to detail their prior professional and academic experience as part of their formal application form. TRIUM does not generally require GMAT or GRE scores for applicants with 15 years or more of work experience. Applicants who have less than 15 years work experience, but who feel they are able to demonstrate sufficient quantitative or academic preparedness either through prior coursework, professional experience, and/or certifications, have the option request to waive the GMAT/GRE requirement as part of their application form. The admissions committee will consider the waiver request as part of the application process and will advise if a GMAT/GRE will be necessary.

In some cases, we may request a GMAT or GRE score as part of the application when an applicant’s transcript(s) or work experience does not demonstrate sufficient quantitative or academic preparedness. If you do not feel you can provide adequate proof of your quantitative abilities, you may wish to consider submitting GMAT or GRE scores or enrolling in a quantitatively focused non-degree course.

Applicants who wish to strengthen the academic component of their applications, or further demonstrate quantitative preparedness, are encouraged to take one or more non-degree courses prior to completion of the formal application. Courses in the following areas are recommended:

• Statistics
• Accounting
• Finance

Courses should be taken at an accredited college or university and can be classroom-based or online.

The TRIUM Global EMBA Program is pleased to offer a limited number of partial scholarships aimed at assisting deserving candidates based on a combination of financial need and merit. Competition for the scholarship awards is strong and the Committee will only consider applications from candidates who demonstrate the scholarship criteria.

Note that scholarship awards are for a partial amount of the overall fee and usually range between $5,000USD and $40,000USD.

Yes. Global developments continue to change the business landscape, making continued learning as indispensable to business executives as it is to other professionals. In addition, the program’s socio-political and economic perspectives – areas critical for global business success but not typically addressed in MBA curricula – make the TRIUM Global EMBA a unique, multi-dimensional experience.

TRIUM uses an executive-friendly blended learning format (in-person classroom time and independent study between modules) comprising of 6 on-site modules lasting between 1-2 weeks at multiple global locations over an 18 month period. Time out of the office is only 10 weeks.

More about our program overview

Recognizing the value of synchronous learning in a classroom, TRIUM features six residential modules, for a total of 10 weeks of intensive class time where students come together in a dynamic environment for discovery and collaboration with classmates. There are no online classes, although students complete approximately 15 to 20 hours of asynchronous work per week between modules. This critical component of the program, which includes pre- and post-module preparation and follow-through, is facilitated by an online platform and online reading and learning materials that enables TRIUM students to collaborate on team assignments and work from their homes or offices or while travelling.

The TRIUM Global EMBA tuition fee is $204,000 for Class of 2026, entry in September 2024. A non-refundable $18,000 tuition deposit is required upon acceptance of a place. We provide a number of payment plan options to help you manage your finances. All fees shown are in US$.

We recommend that you plan ahead about how to finance your studies including other costs involved such as travel, accommodation and subsistence. We estimate that the average cost of attendance for the whole program for a student is approximately $40,000 but this depends on how you organise your travel to the modules and where you decide to stay while there.

Where possible students will be sent details on hotels with special rates for TRIUM and we would advise you to take advantage of these and book in advance. Please note that all study materials are provided and the program fee covers the cost of hotels at the away modules (Seoul, Nairobi and Dubai).

TRIUM graduates earn a single MBA degree jointly conferred by NYU Stern, LSE, and HEC Paris, all of which are accredited by the most widely respected academic accreditation organizations worldwide, including AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.
