Academics

Program specializations include a full-time MBA program with internship, where students receive real-world experience at domestic and international companies in Luxembourg. The paid internships last between 6 and 9 months and come with career coaching and job placement assistance. Their part-time Executive MBA can be completed at the student’s pace, typically lasting about 2 years.[3]

They also offer graduate certificates in Private Equity, Corporate Finance, Digital Management (Blockchain & Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Transformation).[4]

SHULU’s programs are delivered at the Chamber of Commerce in Kirchberg, in the heart of the financial sector and European institutions. All classes take place on the weekdays between 6:30 and 9:30 pm, in order to adapt to the work and family lives of students.[3]

History

In 1991, Henri Ahlborn, then director of the Chamber of Commerce, reached out to universities in the United States in order to find a partner institution. As a result, Sacred Heart University has been offering an internationally accredited MBA program, the first of its kind in Luxembourg.[5] In the last 30 years, SHULU has graduated 700 business students representing more than 50 different countries. Sacred Heart University closed it doors in Luxembourg to all students and staff in July 2022. [3]
