The world's most flexible MBA programme
This is your MBA. Not ours. That means you start when you like and finish when you like. You can study from home or on campus. At EBS, our courses are designed to fit round you.
Programme structure
There are seven core courses in the MBA programme. You also take two elective courses, chosen from an extensive range. Each course requires approximately 200 hours of study.
You work towards your MBA on a course-by-course basis. The student handbook provides detailed guidance on the best order in which to study your courses, and there is a degree of flexibility. However, Strategic Planning should be taken as the final core course because it builds on the prior study of other courses.
Some subject courses may also be studied on campus at EBS. Click here for more information on seminar dates and revision sessions.
There is no prescribed start date, and no limit on the duration of your studies.
After completing three courses, you are eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six courses for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration.
The postgraduate certificate and postgraduate diploma awards are formal recognition of your progress: they can also be used as exit awards.
Specialist awards are available at MBA level depending on your choice of courses.
