There are three key elements to the Executive MBA. The core modules, studied in Year 1, give you the fundamental skills and knowledge you need to be a world-class business leader. The EMBA Course Elective modules, taken in Year 2, give you the opportunity to focus your studies on your particular professional needs. The Business Mastery Project, also taken in Year 2, is a major piece of self-managed business analysis which enables you to put into practice what you have learned on the Executive MBA programme.

In addition, your Professional Development courses and Individual Learning Plan will ensure that your EMBA remains highly relevant and immediately applicable to your current and future business functions. The EMBA course also has a strong International Business Dimension to give you a much-needed global perspective on business today.
