The Executive MBA is structured in three phases: building core foundations, exploring growth and innovation, and applying knowledge through real-world projects — each designed to blend theory with practice.

This phase focuses on core business principles. Students will explore:
  • Strategy Development and Implementation.
  • Accountancy and Finance
  • Leadership, People and Organisational Development. 

Building on the fundamentals of Phase 1, this stage introduces new perspectives on managing growth and seizing opportunities. Key areas include:
  • Problem Solving, Creativity and Change
  • Operations and Information Systems
  • Strategic marketing and sales

  • The final phase encourages self-directed learning and professional practice. Students will undertake either a Business Consultancy Project or a Management Research Project, supported through one-to-one tutorial supervision and peer-to-peer action learning.
  • Please note: The Business Consultancy Project requires participants to identify a host organisation and secure agreement to conduct the project within that context.
