Executive MBA

The Loughborough Executive MBA is designed to help those with a minimum of five years’ professional/managerial experience who wish to transform their career and realise their professional ambitions. The programme typically takes around three years to complete.

We equip you with the skills to manage complex business challenges, develop creative solutions for contemporary business issues, lead innovative change programmes to capitalise on new opportunities, and become an effective leader of people.

Our blended learning approach allows you to balance learning and business pressures.

You will learn alongside a cohort of experienced managers, enabling you to share fresh perspectives on similar problems and build lasting business networks. You will also have the opportunity on some modules to meet and learn alongside our internationally diverse full-time MBA cohort.
