Course summary

Three continents, two years, and one unmissable opportunity — our Global Executive MBA sheds new light on the fragmented landscape of international business. You’ll study mainly online at a time and place that fits in with your work/social/home life. Each online module runs for seven weeks and includes two live webinars to facilitate further discussion of the related academic materials with your fellow students and module tutor. We then supplement this with three intensive one-week residentials in three different continents, where you will travel to the UK, South Africa and Brazil, and put into practice and participate in change management, strategic business planning, and global consultancy projects with local businesses. Delivered by business experts from around the world, the programme will significantly enrich your knowledge, networks and professional prospects. The course is designed around three key themes:

  • Developing Mindset
  • Leading Agile Transformation
  • Building and Leading a Resilient Organisation.
As your confidence and insights grow, you’ll fundamentally challenge the ways you think about business, innovation and leadership. More than just an elite developmental experience, the GEMBA is a transformative cultural one; you’ll join a high-calibre, multinational cohort of like-minded business leaders, and collaborate on live consultancy projects. You won’t just be learning about the nuances of international business practice — you’ll be living them. This is a challenging, exciting course, developed for bold and dynamic thinkers. If that’s you, we’re here to take your career to the next level and help you achieve your goals and transform into a better, braver, more sustainable leader. Nottingham Business School is proud to have achieved the prestigious triple crown of international accreditations, with EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. This is the highest international benchmark of excellence for business schools.

Assessment method

Each online module runs over seven weeks and during the first five weeks touch points with either your tutor or peers to support your learning are available. At the end of week two, you’ll take part in a short multiple-choice test which will give you confidence that you’re gaining the core knowledge required. The final two weeks of the seven weeks allows you to focus on your final assessment. Throughout, an online tutor will support your learning and be a source of support to you. In week four and six of your module, live webinars will support your learning and provide you with further networking opportunities with your cohort.
