The core courses and business simulation are held as residential modules in Russia (St. Petersburg) and France (Paris). Majors (specializations) take place in Europe, the Americas, Asia (Beijing & Shanghai) and the Middle East (Doha). This arrangement enables DDEMBA participants to learn from peers with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds and build a global network.

Typical course assessment includes participation, group work and final tests. The Final Individual Project (FIP) and Company Project (CAP) need to be defended in front of an international jury.
