The Warwick Executive MBA
The Warwick Executive MBA sees you attend WBS for a week at a time at regular intervals to study a particular subject in depth. This route combines the flexibility of part-time study with the benefits of interactive learning and is perfect if you want to plan well ahead.
It's particularly suitable if your work involves a considerable amount of travelling, you are based overseas, or you are just really busy and need to schedule well in advance. It minimises disruption to both professional and personal commitments by getting all the teaching done in discrete residential blocks.
Face-to-face tuition is supplemented by extensive pre-reading, and post-module assignments. Most participants complete their studies in three years. However, it is possible to complete it in just over two if you are able to devote more time to study.
It's an immersive method of study using practice-oriented assessment. You'll not only use case studies, but also reflect on your own organisation and those of the other participants. Plus, you take your learning back into the workplace - immediately and practically.
Programme content
The core modules are the same, whichever way you study for your Warwick MBA. You will be taught using a variety of methods including lectures, case studies, models, visits, simulations, and syndicate group-work. For each of your 13 modules, you will have some pre-reading to complete, followed by a 5-day module. Assessment is through a mix of written assignments, two exams and group work during your module.
Whilst the majority of modules take place at WBS, you are expected to take at least one module from the number of different international opportunities available to you.
