Executive MBA

Our Executive MBA is different to a conventional MBA. It is designed for executives with at least 10 years of industry experience with a desire to hone their leadership skills and share the journey with an elite cohort. Throughout your studies you are assigned a coach and mentor and you can select two distinct pathways:

  • international leadership
  • complex program leadership and strategic procurement.

The path you choose is the first step to developing a deeper understanding of your strengths and leadership traits with the help of your own leadership coach. Through the program you will undertake advanced learning in areas such as organisational transformation and corporate governance.
