  • Assessment focuses on real-world leadership through: 
    • Class participation and strategic discussion

There are no traditional exams. Every element is designed to sharpen critical thinking, encourage interaction, and apply learning in context. 
 

Balancing Work, Family, and Studies 

Completing an Executive MBA while managing work and family is ambitious, but possible with planning and support. 

Dates are provided well in advance to help participants coordinate work and family schedules. Many engage employers early to align expectations and secure time away. Family support is equally important, and we encourage open conversations to prepare for the journey ahead. 

While sacrifices are inevitable, clear planning and shared commitment make the difference. And you won’t be doing it alone – you will be supported by faculty, peers, and a programme team who understand the realities of balancing leadership, life, and learning.
