An immersive learning experience enabling you to make immediate impact.
​
The Usild Executive MBA program has 16-18 week-long modules (depending on your choice of elective courses). Modules are designed to fit alongside work commitments and run approximately every five weeks.
​
Start dates are in either September or January each year. The September intake is taught in one-week module. Assessments take place at the end of each module, therefore the total duration to complete the program is 12 months.
Modules usually start on a Monday morning and end on a Friday evening. The first module will be online, with the rest mostly taking place in Usild. We recommend you stay in or near to Usild. Elective modules and overseas modules will include weekends, as indicated in this provisional list of module dates. The courses are complemented by personal study (reading, research, writing assignments), completed away from the Usild.
