Executive MBA
This part-time pathway to the MBA combines the flexibility and choice of self-managed distance learning with the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus intensive seminars spread over 2 years.
There are nine long weekends (Thursday to Sunday) spent at the state-of-the-art teaching facilities on the Edinburgh campus, plus intensive 2-day refresher courses in each subject prior to examinations.
These 4- and 2-day sessions are separate from those offered to self-study or MSc students; they enable students to develop a cohort approach and ensure that their studies are contextualised to their specific needs.
- A structured programme, covering the MBA through part-time study in only 2 years.
- Proven content and top-class faculty.
- A cohort-based approach to encourage networking during and after study.
- Access to the global community of other Edinburgh Business School MBA alumni and students.
Cohorts of executives from major corporations have attended the highly regarded part-time 'consortium' programme that forms the model for our Executive MBA programme. These include: Agilent Technologies, Dawson International, Ernst & Young (Italy), Hewlett-Packard, Lloyds TSB, Pearson Education, the NHS, Scottish Widows and Scottish Power.
