Sponsorship and company support
Around 30% of Executive MBA students receive either partial or full financial sponsorship from their employers, but all students must have their employer's full support in terms of the time commitment to attend classes.
Securing this kind of commitment usually involves drawing up a detailed business case outlining your reasons for wanting to do the Executive MBA and the benefits that you feel it will bring to yourself and to the company. To help you draft your business case, we have put together Creating a business case for company sponsorship.
