London Business School Unveils Smart Executive MBA

London Business School (LBS) is thrilled to unveil its enhanced Executive MBA (EMBA) programme, now available in two flexible formats: an in-person experience or a blended learning model. Executives can choose to study from either London or Dubai, ensuring accessibility for professionals worldwide.

Optimized Schedule for Busy Professionals

Both study formats are designed to minimize time away from work while maintaining academic excellence. The programme can be completed in as little as 17 months, allowing executives to balance their careers with their education seamlessly.

Distinct Learning Structures

> In-Person Format (Starts September): Comprising 80% face-to-face classes and 20% self-paced learning.

> Blended Format (Starts January): A mix of 40% in-person sessions, 40% live online classes, and 20% self-paced study.

Graham Hastie, Associate Dean, Degree Education, LBS says: “Business executives lead demanding and busy lives. Time committed out of the office, or away from family and friends, is a major investment for these executives. Offering our world-class Executive MBA in two different locations and two different formats means our executive students can choose not just where they study, but how they study – in the way that best meets their needs and helps them to balance work and life.”

Innovative Curriculum Led by Renowned Faculty

The EMBA programme integrates cutting-edge education with a carefully designed structure to meet the demands of modern business challenges. Key features include:

> A forward-thinking curriculum addressing contemporary business issues.

> Interdisciplinary learning to tackle complex problems from various angles.

> A diverse selection of electives shared with other LBS students, allowing executives to personalize their learning journey, expand their expertise, and build extensive professional networks.

> A customized leadership development experience, including executive coaching, hands-on skills training, career development activities, and networking opportunities.

Flexible Completion Timeline

While all students will complete their EMBA within 22 months, those opting for an accelerated path can finish in just 17 months, depending on their elective choices.

Ben Hardy, Academic Director, Leadership Programmes and Clinical Professor of Organisational Behaviour, LBS, says: “Our EMBA helps executive students approach business problems from diverse viewpoints and apply core concepts in real-world situations. This exciting curriculum will explore the way different parts of a business work together, teaching executives to identify and tackle the trade-offs and obstacles they will encounter. This will help them develop their skills to build resilient, sustainable organisations, and to adapt to an evolving business landscape, emerging as confident and authentic leaders.”

London Business School’s new EMBA formats offer a dynamic and adaptable approach to executive education, empowering professionals to advance their careers with world-class training while maintaining their work commitments.
