Curriculum
Daytime or Evening study options
Our Executive MBA comprises eight required modules and your choice of four elective modules. In parallel with the global focus of the course we enable you to increase your exposure to different international learning opportunities. At least one taught module from the 12 studied overall will be taken at a non-UK location. We offer a range of exciting locations at world class institutions, covering both required content and extending the elective topic range.
You may choose between studying the Executive MBA (London) in either a daytime format, with your required modules typically taught on Fridays and Saturdays every other week between September and July, or the evening format, where each required module is typically taught over two evenings in a four-week period between September and July.
Skills and tools to drive your organisation
Take new ideas straight from the classroom into your day-to-day work, and demonstrate your new skills as they develop. You will engage in interactive sessions led by your professors, allowing you to discuss concepts and theories with your peers from different business backgrounds and cultures, and together you will find new and effective ways to apply them to real workplace scenarios.
Locally based cohort - your network for life
The majority of our participants are based in and around the city of London providing you with opportunities to meet up, study together and discuss group work outside of your scheduled teaching hours. This added contact time with your talented peers will maximise your learning experience, help strengthen your connections and broaden your professional networks.

Scholarships and Funding
When and how to pay
To secure your place on the course, you must lodge a deposit of 10% of the year 1 fee with us within four weeks of receiving your offer. This will be a deposit of £2,795 for the September 2022 and March 2023 intakes. The deposit is part of the total fee, not an additional cost. Read more about how to pay at the University's finance pages. By paying the deposit, you agree to the University of Warwick refund policy.
Tuition fees are payable in advance or at the start of each academic year. Payments can be made by bank transfer, banker’s draft, cheque, telephone, direct debit or credit/debit card. If you have been awarded a scholarship, this will be deducted from your tuition fee as stated in your offer letter.
