London Business School - Executive MBA

London Business School Executive MBA Program Structure

Offered over a period of 20 months, the London Business School Executive MBA can be taken in London, UK , in Dubai, UAE, or a combination of both. As such, students have access to two influential markets. If focused in London, students attend classes consecutive Fridays and Saturdays every other week; if in Dubai, students do a four or five day module once a month, as well as two core residential modules in London: orientation and a module at the end of the program. The program requires the completion of at least six electives.

The London Business School also offers a Global Executive MBA, which allows students the opportunity to earn an EMBA through a combination of classes taken in New York, Hong Kong, and London.

Curriculum

The LBS Executive MBA is specifically tailored to those students who must continue to work full-time throughout the program, and as a result the program is designed to enhance the condensed classroom time with extensive networking opportunities. The curriculum is divided into five elements: core courses, elective courses, the Global Business Assignment, a focus on Leadership Development, and the conclusive modules that draw everything together.

The core courses and electives give students a thorough foundation in business and management; the international components of the curriculum take students out of their comfort zones and expose them to the global context in which they will one day work.
