About this course

COURSE INFORMATION

An Executive MBA is a globally recognised postgraduate qualification designed to help develop and enhance your skill set within your senior-level role. Our Executive MBA explores a wide range of business topics, and will help you to understand and implement strategic thinking, taking you out of your comfort zone within a supportive framework, and launching you into the next phase of your career.

If you are working in a managerial role and are enthused by the prospect of learning from sector experts and networking with like-minded individuals, our Executive MBA might be the course for you.

During the course, you will learn to apply theoretical concepts to the real-world setting of your own business. Embedded throughout the programme are themes of leadership, sustainability, enterprise, and Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Each helps to ensure that we support and build future-focused, digitally able strategic leaders who can drive change and meet the challenges of the modern business world.

The Executive MBA has been designed for busy professionals and will be taught flexibly. Online sessions will take place one evening (6-9 pm) each week, with a compulsory in-person session at our city-centre campus 2-3 Saturdays per semester. Integrated into the programme is a one-week international study and business trip, which will be in early April 2025.
