Course overview

Are you a senior manager, high-level executive or experienced entrepreneur? The Global Executive MBA is an 18-month accelerated pathway of the Global MBA for a closed cohort of some of our most senior MBA candidates.

The Global Executive MBA will immerse you in our global study locations. You will attend four core workshop residentials as a cohort in Manchester and Dubai for greater exposure to international business culture (we will provide 26 nights of accommodation across the three core global workshops locations). You will then choose two electives with a workshop residential at any of our global centres: Dubai, Manchester, Shanghai or Singapore

Open days

We run regular information sessions and offer online consultations for prospective students. These sessions are a great opportunity to discuss which MBA programme is right for you and explore how an MBA could enhance your career and personal development. For further details, please visit the Alliance Manchester Business School website .

Policy on additional costs

All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).
