Executive Business MBA

The Executive MBA is for students who have completed our Senior Leadership Apprenticeship PG Diploma or have a Level-7 PG Diploma from another institution and now wish to ‘top-up’ their qualification to an MBA.

The programme is taught part-time over 10 months. The programme is delivered over two days of face-to-face teaching, followed by independent research supervision. The independent supervision may involve face-to-face or on-campus meetings depending on your individual needs.

Alongside individual supervision, you will have one-to-one access to a personal tutor who will offer relevant support and direct you to wider university services if needed. You will also have access to all student digital skills support and library services.

You will study one 60-credit module.

The module provides an opportunity to address a current business issue, challenge or problem in your organisation (where possible). You will achieve this by conducting an independent work-related project based on critical research and professional enquiry, using primary and/or secondary data, analysis and research methods, resulting in recommendations for future practice.

An alternative research project will be made available if your employer does not wish you to conduct research within your organisation or for students who may be in between employment.
