About The Program

Gain new management perspectives with the “weekend only” Executive MBA (EMBA). This programme is for high-potential executives, senior managers, and entrepreneurs who want to accelerate their careers or businesses significantly, and network with top executives across Africa. The EMBA is best suited for candidates with a minimum of 7 years of career or entrepreneurial experience and a minimum of 3 years of managerial experience, who require more flexibility of learning beyond what is provided by the full-time executive MBA.

‘A High-Quality Education Offering Cross-Cultural Experiences’

Our EMBA curriculum is designed to cover a comprehensive understanding of conducting business in emerging economies, with a focus on Nigeria and Africa. The programme is taught through practical learning using real-life African case studies and interactive sessions between participants and facilitators. The curriculum includes elective courses in negotiation, digital business, and technology management, which can be taken during the optional international immersion trips with partner business schools in Asia, America, Africa, and Europe.

The rapidly changing world requires business leaders to understand global trends and opportunities, as a change in one economy can cause ripple effects in other seemingly unrelated economies. Our Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) network provides business leaders with knowledge transfer, which enables them to understand global trends and opportunities that exist.

The EMBA programme is a life-changing experience that equips you with the relevant business management knowledge, skills, and new ways of thinking required to compete effectively in any market.

The flexible schedule allows you to balance the programme with your current employment or entrepreneurial commitments. It also provides the unmatched benefit of simultaneously learning and applying the best management practices on the go.

The 24-month programme is delivered in six 14-week semesters spread over two academic sessions. An academic session begins in January and ends in December. In addition, there is a 5-day intensive week once every semester. Class hours can be found in the brochure
