Fees and financing

If you are company sponsored or applying for a loan scheme, fees are payable in two instalments. If you are self-sponsored, you may be eligible to pay the fees in five equal instalments.

Below is a sample payment structure detailing when the fees are payable for the September 2013 intake, applicable for both the London and Dubai streams.  

Company sponsored

Self-sponsored

A commitment fee is payable on acceptance of your place on the programme. This fee is non refundable and is deducted from the total amount payable in the first instalment.

Applicants to the London stream of the Executive MBA are required to pay a commitment fee of £2,000.

Applicants to the Dubai stream are required to pay a commitment fee of $4,000.

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.
