Please note that many of our most senior executives still choose to study our two-year Global MBA. For example, they may prefer to study over a longer timeframe for personal or professional reasons, or they may not be able to accommodate the mandatory travel that is part of the Global Executive MBA in their work schedule. On our Global MBA program, the average age is approximately 36 with an average of 12 years of professional experience, which is comparable to many Executive MBAs offered by other schools.

You will also need:

• Good undergraduate or master’s degree or international equivalent

• Proof of English competency (assessed throughout the admissions process). All our programs are conducted in English and participants are expected to have excellent communications skills and English competence to be able to understand, and contribute to, what can be very fast-paced discussions in class.
