Fees, financing and scholarships FAQs
-
Do I need to be sponsored by my employer to do the Executive MBA?
You must be sponsored by your organisation in terms of time, but you are not required to secure financial support. However, many organisations recognise sponsorship as an important investment in their human capital, and so many Executive MBA students are also financially sponsored - fully or partially.
Students who are funded often sign an agreement to stay with their company for a stated length of time after completion of the programme. Find out more about Sponsorship funding schemes.
