Professional success requires a decision. That decision involves a commitment to investing in your executive capabilities, and signalling to the market your determination to be at the forefront of your field.

Melbourne Business School recognises the difficulty of finding the time to gain the capabilities necessary to perform at an executive level. It is undoubtedly difficult to make the space to complete a world-class graduate degree in business and management.

Conventional full-time and part-time study arrangements do not suit many managers. The Executive MBA program is designed to address the challenges of top-level study commitment for such people.

The Executive MBA program comprises 18 subjects. Students undertake the program on 17 weekends, from Thursday to Sunday, plus one week-long overseas module, over 18 months. The program is fully residential, thereby enabling a complete focus on study and progress, free from the interruptions of work life.

The program also features a number of highly-distinctive executive-level EMBA Seminars, Executive Skills Workshops, visiting speakers and an overseas module focusing on international trade and global strategy.

The approach to teaching and learning on the Executive MBA program is purposefully aligned to the experiences, strengths and demands of the class. At this level of study, participants require a pedagogy that features enquiry-based learning, complex case studies, applied problem-solving and action learning projects. While the competitive spirit is observed in setting the highest standards, it is balanced by the collaborative learning within syndicates and project teams which leverages the insights and knowledge of professionals from diverse functions and sectors.

Leading edge technologies are deployed for the most effective and engaging learning experience. Utilising the most advanced hardware and software platforms in educational technology, faculty and students will share an integrated, interactive learning environment. The co-created experience provides an outcome appropriate to the cohort s needs, and in keeping with the School s reputation for scholarly excellence. While online technologies are used in preparatory and assessment activities, the central learning approach emphasises the direct sharing of ideas between faculty and students.
