Sacred Heart University Luxembourg (SHULU) offers graduate level business programs in Luxembourg (Luxembourg City) tailored to the needs of working professionals.[1] SHU Luxembourg is the European branch of Sacred Heart University, which educates business students in Fairfield, Connecticut (CT).[2]

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.[3]
