The emphasis of the course is on integrative teaching using case studies, and the inclusion of material from emerging disciplines such as e-business. The Executive MBA is structured in such a way that students progress through the degree in a group.

Students in the Executive MBA are required to undertake two core subjects in residence, and will be taught separately from other graduate students.
