What graduates say
-
Applying MBA learnings to the business
The module with most impact was the elective on Mergers & Acquisitions. I did my Business Project on M&A, considering best practice for targeting searches for small to medium-sized businesses. It was at the time our business was looking for a target to acquire, and that worked really well.
-
Securing a new role while studying
Just three months into the programme, I secured a role at Sustainable Ventures, supporting climate start-ups with investment, workspace, and expert guidance. Being able to apply my MBA learnings directly to my work helped solidify my knowledge and deliver real impact.

From Corporate Banking to Social Enterprise Entrepreneur
The MBA’s emphasis on innovation and disruption enabled me to evolve from a corporate executive into the leader of an innovative start-up. It was a truly transformative experience.
Flexible study formats
The Executive MBA is built with flexibility at its core, enabling professionals and entrepreneurs to balance work, study, and personal life. With part-time study, students see a return on investment from day one, applying what they learn directly to their roles. If circumstances change, students have the option to switch between study routes, providing the freedom to shape their learning journey around evolving needs.
Weekend hybrid programme
The Modular Executive MBA requires study in London one long weekend per month with some additional online learning one Saturday per month.
This option is ideal if you travel from outside of London and cannot commit to weekly classes.
The programme takes two years to complete part-time and begins in March.
Evening programme
The Evening Executive MBA requires study in London on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
This option is suitable for those who are based in or near London and prefer a regular weekly schedule.
The programme takes two years to complete part-time and begins in September.
