Hi, my name is Ellie Fowler. I'm the Executive MBA Programme Director here at Lancaster University Management School.
The Executive MBA programme is for people who've already got some experience, have worked in management for at least five years, and they're looking to sort of get to that next level in their career. They're looking for some key management learning experience and the opportunity to network with other fellows on the course.
So the Executive MBA programme is a part-time programme, and it runs over two years. The full-time programme is a one-year programme, and it's based purely here, on campus at Lancaster. The Executive MBA programme is designed so that people can work and study at the same time.
So we've managed the programme so that you have some touch points here online for interaction. And you also have some days here as well at Lancaster campus.
The Executive MBA is very much designed for people who're already in work to be able to complete their study.
You'd be looking to study an MBA because you're looking to get a broad overview of management areas.
So something that you're thinking about - maybe moving the next step up in your career. Perhaps you're already a specialist in something in your career at the moment. But you're thinking, actually, I'd like to take it to the next level and have a sort of more overall leadership role.
And the MBA has got a lot of credibility across the world.
Key skills that you're going to develop, if you come and do an Executive MBA programme, are ones about thinking about working in difficult situations. It's a very work-based programme. So it's actually it's going to be thinking about: How do you deal with people? How do you deal with challenges? How do you deal with managing risk? How do you deal with day-to-day issues and sort of take them to the next step?
So we have got challenges built into the programme as well. So it will give you the opportunity to take your learning from the programme and apply them in a really sort of safe and manageable way so that when you get them into a challenging situation, maybe, at work, you've already tried that out, you already know what might work, what might not work so well. So you can really apply your leadership skills.
So here at Lancaster, we very much think about you as a leader. One of the key modules that runs all the way throughout the programme is the Responsible Leadership programme. So actually that's a focus on you, and thinking about - what skills do I need to become a leader? It's quite self-reflective. And so we really encourage that people can develop and grow their own leadership potential.
And we also put quite a lot of reflective practice and work-based learning in there. So the difference is that if you come to Lancaster, you can make a difference in your organisation and for your career from day one, because you'll be applying that learning straight away into your workplace.
If you come and study here at Lancaster University on the Executive MBA, it's a hybrid programme. So what that means is that you'll start the programme with some face-to-face days here at Lancaster University on our really beautiful campus. Get to meet all your fellow colleagues and peers. So you get to network with everybody, and then you move more online.
So then you'll have regular online meetings or tutorials on a lunchtime so that you get to connect and get some time with your tutors. And then for every module, you'll come onto campus for 2 or 3 days again, so you can get that more in person. So it's a combination of both in-person and online. But we give you all the information and dates in advance so you can plan it and make sure that it works with your work life.
So the way the Executive MBA programme is structured, is that we have got a number of core modules where you'll cover the core management learning areas, and you also take a couple of different electives.
We also offer the opportunity of a cyber security pathway. So if you select that pathway, the elective modules focus on areas of cyber security. We also make sure that we thread the learning about cyber security throughout the different modules as well. So you get a whole sort of pathway experience about cyber security. And with all the assessments being work-based as well, you can frame it so it meets your cyber needs.
We also run online information sessions. So that gives you a really good idea as to what the overall flow for the programme is. So do click on one of those links to sign up for one of those. And if you've got some specific things that you want to talk about, there's an email address you can contact us on there too.
So if you're thinking that you'd like to apply for the EMBA programme, we also offer a number of scholarships as well. So do check out the scholarships pages too, because there's always some really fantastic offers there for the Executive MBA programme.
