Executive MBA (21 months)

You don't need to stop work to do an MBA. In fact, most people don't. You continue in your job and come to Henley once a month for an intensive 3-4 day workshop where you will interact directly with our faculty and industry speakers as well working collaboratively with your peers.

Accelerated Executive MBA (12-15 months)

The Executive MBA can also be taken on an accelerated basis and completed within 12-15 months. Participants on this version would need to devote considerable time to their studies and would therefore be undertaking the programme full-time or whilst in part-time employment. The accelerated programme will appeal to business owners, consultants, individuals able to take a sabbatical or who are transitioning between organisations, and international participants looking to study in the UK. Participants on this accelerated programme will be able to secure a UK study visa.
