Programme content FAQs

How is the curriculum structured for the Executive MBA?
Students on both the London and Dubai streams come together in London to start the Executive MBA experience. All shared modules are residential and provide the ideal environment in which to build valuable networks with an extended group of diverse peers.
Following orientation week in London, you will continue your programme in either London or Dubai and study your core courses in your primary study location. The structure in which you study will be determined by the format for which you apply to, for detailed information on the study formats available please visit the programme content page.
In your second year, you can choose between six to nine electives from a portfolio of over 100 courses, allowing you to deepen your expertise in a specific field or broaden your knowledge across various business disciplines. Electives are timetabled in intensive block weeks or spread across a term on weekdays, evenings or weekends. You will also undertake a week-long Global Experience, challenging you to apply your learning in new and unfamiliar contexts, and to have responsible real-world impact on the communities and businesses you encounter.
There are also optional workshops offered throughout the programme that are designed to develop your interpersonal skills, and cover topics such as presenting, negotiating, handling conflict and business writing.
