EMBA is the Road to Visionary Senior Management
If you are looking for career advancement, enhanced entrepreneur- ial skills and increased salary options, among other benefits, an Executive MBA degree could be the choice for you. Te EMBA de- gree is typically quicker to obtain than a graduate degree, and part- time programmes include 16 modules to be taken over a span of 20-21 months. Almost all executive programmes are part-time so participants can continue their professional activity while enrolled in study. As the ‘executive’ part of the name of the degree suggests, the
EMBA programme requires a more senior attitude towards business and administration. Applicants are required to have several years of experience, on average 12.7 years, in managerial roles due to the ex- tensive and advanced subject matter of the EMBA course. For ex- ample, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) requires at least 10 years of professional work experience for its EMBA pro-
gramme and the average age of EMBA students at MIT is 40. In general, the age of a candidate is not as important as experience. Tis is nicely illustrated by Christer Holloman, the former
senior business development manager at Glassdoor who, after just four months of studying for an EMBA at Oxford University, left his job to found his own company. He claims that the skills he gained in the EMBA programme gave him the courage he needed to make the final step and go out into the business world alone. Te prestige of Holloman’s EMBA degree was undoubtedly a factor in a successful £1million funding round. Enrolling in an EMBA programme usually costs between
US$50,000 and US$150,000. However, judging from the re- turn on Holloman’s investment and of other EMBA students,
“The EMBA degree enhances not only managerial skills but also leadership qualities that can be applied anywhere in the world.”
