The Cranfield Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Executive MBA programme at Cranfield School of Management is designed for experienced professionals aiming to advance their leadership skills through a flexible and financially accessible route. This part-time programme offers access to the same esteemed qualification as our Executive MBA and is targeted at candidates with the same high level of professional experience and ambition.

Cranfield’s partnership with Grant Thornton in class ensures that your education is not only academically rigorous, but also grounded in the real-world challenges and opportunities faced by leading organisations today. Designed for ambitious professionals, this part-time programme combines world-class academic insights with cutting-edge commercial application, equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in senior leadership roles. Whether you aim to innovate within your current organisation or pivot to new opportunities, our Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Executive MBA will empower you to stand out and achieve your career ambitions.

Our programme is uniquely flexible, designed to fit around your professional life with part-time delivery that allows you to continue your day job while studying. The programme is delivered in two parts: the first year focuses on the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship, which equips students with the foundational leadership and management skills necessary for senior roles. After completing the apprenticeship, candidates have the option to "top up" to Cranfield’s Executive MBA (also part-time). This final stage builds on the apprenticeship and is co-delivered by Cranfield and Grant Thornton, offering the same rigorous academic content and industry insights that have earned Cranfield top rankings in the UK and globally. This pathway allows candidates to achieve a world-class Executive MBA while leveraging the apprenticeship levy, providing both flexibility and a strong return on investment.
