Frequently Asked Questions

The EMBA may be for you if you want to complete an MBA without interrupting your career. As an EMBA participant you remain in full-time work while you study, simultaneously advancing your career and their professional and personal development.

EMBA students are able to immediately apply knowledge gained through the programme back to the workplace, which fast-tracks your learning process. The London Business School Executive MBA is an intensive, challenging, highly stimulating and enriching experience.

While both the MBA and the Executive MBA cover similar material, and both award the same MBA degree, there are some fundamental differences.

The Executive MBA is designed for managers and executives who already have substantial professional experience behind them. They want to remain in full-time employment to continue their careers whilst studying for their degree.

Full-time MBA students take part in a number of practical exercises, such as work shadowing and placements, making it more suitable for those at an earlier stage in their career.

There are no admissions restrictions in terms of geographic location.

However, as the majority of the Executive MBA programme is delivered in London or Dubai, please think carefully about how you can combine the travel requirements with your full-time employment.

Approximately 25% of Executive MBA students live outside the UK and the UAE, and commute to London and/or Dubai for classes. Commuting can be demanding, but the benefits from the programme far outweigh the inconvenience of travel.

The Executive MBA provides immediate benefits to sponsoring organisations. Students can immediately apply the theory learned in the classroom to their job and are able to tailor elective aspects of the programme to the specific knowledge requirements of their business. 

Sponsoring organisations also become part of the wide and diverse London Business School network and can attend an annual Employers' Event.
