Who is the Executive MBA designed for?
Our Executive MBA enables high-calibre, experienced managers, executives and entrepreneurs to combine world-class business education with their professional lives.
EMBA students hold positions of responsibility in their organisations and with a typical range of between four to 22 years of managerial experience, they have much to contribute to class discussions. They are also at a level where they can immediately apply what they learn in the classroom in a professional context.
The diversity of the EMBA class is another aspect that enriches the learning. Some 65-75% of EMBA students come from outside the UK and a huge variety of industries and job functions are represented.
The motivations of Executive MBA participants are typically:
- Career acceleration
- Enhanced management skill set
- Personal development
- New challenge
