Course Details
MBA Leadership
Taught in a central London location, our MBA Leadership course has a strong focus on career advancement and is delivered by experienced professors from leading business schools around the world. We’ve developed this course with a unique peer coaching model where you are supported outside of the classroom and have access to your tutor for any challenge you may face at work or during your studies.
The MBA Leadership programme is designed to be undertaken alongside a busy professional role and is delivered in Executive Format over an 18 month period. On a monthly basis, interactive workshop style teaching takes place over a 3 day weekend at our Moorgate campus in London’s commercial hub.
Executive Mentoring
In addition to covering core business fundamentals, a strong emphasis of the programme is developing the behavioural competencies of delegates. This is achieved through a behavioural executive competency skill based model, proven to be highly effective in the corporate world. This entails peer coaching which takes place during the weekend workshops, as well as delegates having continual access to teaching professors outside of the weekend workshops. During the normal working week, delegates are encouraged to hold regular face to face and virtual meetings with the teaching professors to discuss real world issues arising in their professional role which relate to the theory on the course.
Online Streaming
The MBA Leadership programme is also available via online streaming where students will experience a similar learning experience to those on campus following the same timetable. You'll receive the same levels of support regardless of where you may be studying world-wide.
