Part-time Executive MBA

Accreditations: AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS

Programme features

As a Warwick Executive MBA participant, you will visit the lively and cosmopolitan University of Warwick campus for a week at a time at regular intervals to explore a particular subject in depth.  This face-to-face tuition is supplemented by extensive pre-reading and post-module assignments.

It’s an immersive method of study using practice-orientated assessment – you’ll not only use case studies but also be able to reflect on practice in your own organisation.  So, you take the learning back into the workplace – immediately and practically.

The modular structure allows you plan for attendance well ahead and makes it particularly suitable if your work involves a considerable amount of travelling or you are based overseas.

You will study 13 self-contained modules, normally held Monday to Friday.  Assessment is a combination of syndicate group work, assignments, and a small number of examinations.  Finally, you complete a project & dissertation, which draws together your learning and allows you to further apply it to real business practice. 

There are two intakes each year, starting in March and October.
