Key Executive MBA programme features

3-day block release
A 3-day block release format is an easier and more effective way to study an MBA. Our students find the block release structure works really well for them, as they can easily plan the year’s eight blocks around work and family commitments. Students find that, while here, they can switch off from work and focus 100% on their studies.
Foundation workshop
Participants first come together at this four-day workshop, which enables students to adjust to the demands and opportunities of MBA learning. The learning process, including the formation of small groups, is also established. Content includes an introduction to the first semester subjects as well as sessions on library facilities, communications and team building. The foundation workshop also incorporates the first teaching block of the MBA.
Winter school
The Winter school is held in January of each year. This portion gives you the opportunity to personalise your studies by selecting one of several business-related elective modules; Digital Marketing, Technology Management, Strategic Sales Management, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Enterprise, International Finance, Taxation, Operations Management Performance, Airport Business and Aircraft Leasing.
Thesis
You’ll begin your thesis in the summer after your first year, developing it during your second year to submit it in the summer of your second year. We appreciate that a thesis can be challenging and demanding. To help, we provide extra support where needed, including extra lunchtime tutorials and one-on-one coaching.
