Structure

Over a two year period, the Executive MBA combines short intensive bursts of classroom interaction with online support. Most courses involve visiting Edinburgh once a month for two days over a three month period. The Strategic Leadership course and 3 option courses are delivered in intensive one-week blocks, concluding with an advanced final project.
