Course overview
Built in collaboration with our corporate partners, the Birmingham MBA will challenge you to self-reflect and create your own business practices for a better world. Flexible and practical, the Birmingham MBA is designed to fit around your life and work.

Course Structure
The Executive Birmingham MBA is designed to be flexible so you can study around your work. This is a part-time programme delivered in a hybrid format over two years. Each module runs for a seven week period and includes a combination of online content and an in-person residential weekend. Executive MBA candidates can complete one global immersive module. You can also choose to study up to three elective modules in Singapore, Dubai and Online.

Study across three campuses
The Executive MBA is designed so you can complete up to three modules online or across any of our campuses. This will mean you participate in a residential weekend in Singapore or Dubai (residential weekends are compulsory). Completing modules online is an option too in case you need the extra flexibility and need to complete a module entirely online without residential weekend.
