An international Executive MBA dual-award programme, which enables you to achieve two internationally recognised degrees in just 18 months.

The Durham–European Business School Executive MBA (EMBA) is a specialist postgraduate course which runs in Durham and EBS in Germany. Designed for talented managers and entrepreneurs who have a desire to make a positive difference, it enables you to develop the advanced business skills and knowledge that will enhance your career without having to take a break from your current role. In just 18 months you can achieve two internationally recognised qualifications.

As an EMBA student you will be part of a cohort of professionals who come from a wide range of backgrounds, and who share a desire to excel in their field. Collaborating with like-minded people will give you a broader perspective on today’s global business world and help develop the strategic leadership skills that will take you a step closer to becoming an influential corporate leader.

With a strong international focus, you will explore the Operations of Global Markets and study Accounting, Economics for Global Business, Finance and Managing People and gain an essential understanding of Transnational Business Leadership.

As part of the course, you will take part in an innovative boardroom exercise and experience the challenges and decision-making processes that take place at board level. There is also a strategic consultancy project in which you will carry out an in-depth investigation into a live business issue.

Learning takes place at the European Business School Universität in Germany’s Rheingau region and at Durham University Business School, with some online delivery. Running for 18 months on a part-time basis, it is designed to allow you to combine studies with your existing role.

Delivered in blocks of study, the course allows you to explore business theory and tools as well as share your own experiences with expert academics and peers at both locations in friendly and supportive settings, surrounded by a wealth of academic resources and facilities.

Durham University Business School is one of the longest established UK business schools and is in an elite group worldwide with triple-accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the Association of MBAs and the European Quality Improvement System.

EBS Universität is one of the oldest privately-owned universities in Germany and is renowned for excellent research results together with a strong focus on practical use.

This prestigious dual award offered by two leading European universities will teach you the skills and knowledge required to take on additional responsibility in business management. This knowledge can be applied in your existing role or used to further your career ambitions in the wider sector.

Given the international nature of the course and its subject matter, you will develop a valuable network of business and academic connections from across the world with the potential to provide mutually beneficial opportunities in the future.

As part of the EMBA, you will also have access to our Career Development Programme, which has been designed to work alongside the academic course to help you develop the interpersonal skills employers are looking for. Such skills include the ability to make decisions, solve problems, be analytical and innovative and also to understand the sensitivities and behaviours of a workplace environment.

The EMBA has been created in partnership with programme directors and leading training partners, and is frequently revised to take into consideration the most up-to-date requirements of global recruiters.

The Durham-EBS EMBA is much more than a qualification, it is your gateway to a world of opportunities.
