MBA courses
Executive MBA Our Executive MBA is the perfect way to learn face-to-face without the need to step out of full-time work and will give participants the strategic leadership skills they need to make an immediate impact, as well as the aptitude and vision they need to start their own business, fast track to the C-suite, or transform their career by redefining their next steps. Required modules are taught in four-day blocks from Wednesday to Saturday, at our University of Warwick campus, giving participants the chance to escape the pressures of their job and truly immerse themselves in the modules. Class sizes are typically around 40 participants who come from a diverse range of cultural and business backgrounds, resulting in a well-rounded pool of experience for them to network and exchange ideas with. Our participants at both Warwick and London have the opportunity to specialise their MBA within social and environmental sustainability, healthcare, or entrepreneurship, where two elective modules and a final dissertation will focus on this specialist area. Participants will undertake one international module in locations such as China, Canada and Europe. Modules are taught by both our international faculty and our high ranking worldwide partners who offer a wealth of experience, ensuring knowledge is transferable to the global business environment. Throughout their studies, those on the Executive MBA will be supported by our dedicated career experts. The service is tailored to the cohort and is integrated into the course with leadership and personal development at its core. Participants will define their career goals and develop the best strategies for achieving them alongside their studies. W wbs.ac.uk/go/mbaexec
