Executive MBA
Advance your career with an Executive MBA degree, our MBA will look at the integrative disciplines of business strategy and the management of change, leading to a consultancy and individual business project.
One of the features of our Executive MBA is the ‘holistic’ learning experience. You will study the individual elements of business management, as well as explore the inter-relationship between business and its integrative application to the real world.
We want you to graduate from the MBA with more than just a qualification: you should also have the competence and confidence to apply your new knowledge and skills in a changing business world.
We focus on the creation and application of knowledge, as well as personal development and responsible leadership.
You should be able to manage your career as an executive in an organisation, whether public or private, or as an entrepreneur in your own business, hence the name: "Executive" MBA.
