CEU Executive MBA Program offers a highly competitive, merit-based fellowship for an accomplished media manager from Ukraine.
In all democratic countries, the future role of the media as an avenue for such democratic accountability is threatened by a myriad of technological and political changes. In that environment, highest levels of strategic and operational skill and competence in media management competences become the critically important success factor for the survival of independent media organizations, and – as such – for the healthy development of the Ukrainian democracy.
The winner of the Fellowship will receive up to 75 percent reduction of the full CEU Executive MBA tuition of EUR 29.000. The fellowship will be awarded to a manager working in a broadly understood media/creative sector in Ukraine, working for an organization with a proven record of contributing to open and honest public debate.
Applicant for the Fellowship for Media Managers in Ukraine should have at least 8 years of professional experience, including at least 3 years of documented leadership/managerial experience, an undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification and who apply for the August 2023 intake of the CEU Executive MBA program via the regular application form.
“It’s been said that where the press is free, all is safe. The CEU Executive MBA Fellowship for Ukraine seeks an accomplished media executive who has dedicated their professional life to media freedom and choice,” points out Prof. Maciej Kisilowski, Faculty Director of CEU Executive MBA.
Applications will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis. The Selection Committee reserves the right to choose awardees.
Applications are currently open.
