Course content

Transform your thinking and accelerate your career.

Our Global Executive MBA is a powerful partnership between Nottingham Business School and leading business schools in South Africa and Brazil. By combining our expertise, you will develop a truly global perspective, international connections, and the knowledge to lead in an uncertain and connected world.

The programme is designed with a focus on sustainable and responsible leadership. These principles are embedded throughout all our modules. You will be immersed in contextual leadership projects, explore real-world, strategic challenges, and apply your learning to your workplace.

Whether you want to take on a more senior role or embrace the opportunities and risks of a connected world, the Global Executive MBA is a flagship programme and a transformative learning experience.

Programme structure

The Global Executive MBA provides you with the flexibility to learn in a way which fits with your work and personal commitments. The majority of your learning happens online; however, this is interspersed with four campus-based weeks in three continents (Europe, South Africa and Latin America) to enhance your overall learning experience.

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.

The first of the campus-based weeks will be in Nottingham at our award-winning city centre campus. During this time, you will be introduced to the course, make connections with your MBA peers and gain the skills required for success. The following three campus-based weeks will involve live case studies and input from university-based local experts. With the support of a university lecturer, you will work directly with organisations in the specific country you are located to apply your knowledge to real world contexts.

The Personal Leadership Development module runs throughout the course and alongside this module you are assigned an Academic Mentor who will work with you to support your academic, personal and professional growth. You will be encouraged by your Academic Mentor to apply your learning to your organisation to ensure maximum impact to your professional development and career growth.
