Curriculum
On our Executive MBA, you will study eight required modules, your choice of four elective modules and undertake a dissertation, as well as having the opportunity to attend networking and careers events.
Required modules are taught in four-day blocks Wednesday to Saturday, at our University of Warwick campus, giving you the chance to escape the pressures of your job and truly immerse yourself in the modules.
Around four weeks before each module, learning materials are provided via our bespoke online learning environment, my.wbs. Typically, each module will consist of approximately 30 hours preparation and pre-reading, 30 hours of academic delivery and 40 hours writing the assignment(s). Your learning will be assessed through a variety of methods including individual written assignments, case study analysis, groupwork presentations and reports.
You will be joining other Executive MBA participants who come from a wide range of countries and backgrounds, providing you with the opportunity to share new voices, new viewpoints and new ideas. As well as your peers, you’ll also meet visiting students from around the world and study global organisations. You will undertake one overseas module delivered either by one of our partner institutions or by WBS.
