MBA Global Executive MBA

About

Are you a senior manager, high-level executive or experienced entrepreneur? The Global Executive MBA is an 18-month accelerated pathway of the Global MBA for a closed cohort of some of our most senior MBA candidates.

The Global Executive MBA will immerse you in our global study locations. You will attend four core workshop residentials as a cohort in Manchester and Dubai for greater exposure to international business culture (we will provide 26 nights of accommodation across the three core global workshops locations). You will then choose two electives with a workshop residential at any of our global centres: Dubai, Manchester, Shanghai or Singapore

The Global Executive MBA is a dynamic and highly experiential part-time MBA programme. Whatever sector, job function or global region you come from, this part-time executive MBA degree will enable you to:

Understand the economic, societal and cultural challenges and differences that emerge when working in a globalised business environment
Work collaboratively on live business issues and engage with business practitioners
Gain the practical and analytical abilities, critical awareness and transferable skills you need to function effectively in the current and future worlds of business
Develop your self-awareness, self- management capabilities, personal networks and networking abilities
Learn how to engage in life long personal and professional development through reflective practice
