The EMBA may be for you if you want to complete an MBA without interrupting your career. As an EMBA participant you remain in full-time work while you study, simultaneously advancing your career and your professional and personal development.
EMBA students are able to immediately apply knowledge gained through the programme back in the workplace, which fast-tracks your learning process. The London Business School Executive MBA is an intensive, challenging, highly stimulating and enriching experience.
While both the MBA and the Executive MBA cover similar material, and both award the same MBA degree, there are some fundamental differences.
The Executive MBA is designed for managers and executives who already have substantial professional experience behind them. They want to remain in full-time employment to continue their careers whilst studying for their degree.
Full-time MBA students take part in a number of practical exercises, such as work shadowing and placements, making it more suitable for those at an earlier stage in their career.
Executive MBA (London) conducts its core courses on consecutive Fridays and Saturdays of alternate weeks in London.
Executive MBA (Dubai) conducts its core courses in five-day modules each month in Dubai, with some visits to London.
All Executive MBA students have access to London Business School's extensive elective portfolio and international elective options, but only Executive MBA (Dubai) students take core courses in both Dubai and London.
For Executive MBA (London) students, core course teaching is conducted in London only.
We offer a fully aligned curriculum and admission requirements across both streams, so your choice of primary study location is dependent upon your personal preference and circumstances.
There are no admissions restrictions in terms of geographic location.
However, as the majority of the Executive MBA programme is delivered in London or Dubai, please think carefully about how you can combine the travel requirements with your full-time employment.
Approximately 30% of Executive MBA students live outside the UK and the UAE, and commute to London and/or Dubai for classes. Commuting can be demanding, but the benefits from the programme far outweigh the inconvenience of travel.
No. You must apply and commit to only one stream of the programme. This decision determines the primary location(s) of your core coursework.
After you have completed the core, you are free to customise your programme experience by choosing electives from the School's elective portfolios.
The Executive MBA provides immediate benefits to sponsoring organisations. Students can immediately apply the theory learned in the classroom to their job and are able to tailor elective aspects of the programme to the specific knowledge requirements of their business.
Sponsoring organisations also become part of the wide and diverse London Business School network and can attend an annual Employers' Event.
Once you have explored the EMBA web pages and reviewed the brochure, one of the best ways to learn more about the Executive MBA is to attend one of our online information sessions or an in-person Experience Evening at our campus in Dubai International Financial Centre.
To give you a real taste of the learning experience, we can arrange for you to sit in on an Executive MBA core course lecture either in London or Dubai.
