Executive MBA

Executive Master of Business Administration (Online)

A leadership-focused MBA for experienced professionals moving into senior management roles.

About Executive MBA

An Executive MBA (EMBA) is a postgraduate management programme for professionals who already have significant work experience. It focuses less on theory and more on leadership, strategy, decision-making and managing change.

Classes are scheduled around a full-time job and draw heavily on the experience of the batch, so peer learning is a big part of the programme.
