The programme is designed to strengthen the skills of experienced professionals

The inaugural cohort of Executive MBA (EMBA) students has graduated from King’s Business School, marking a major milestone for the School’s Executive Education offering. The Class of 2025 crossed the stage at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Wednesday 30 July 2025.
Launched in 2023, the Executive MBA is a two-year part-time programme designed for senior professionals and leaders navigating complex global challenges. Students combine academic rigour with real-world business application while continuing to work full-time in roles spanning healthcare, banking, energy, technology and government.
The 16-strong Class of 2025 work for a wide range of employers. Among them are HSBC, PwC, King’s College Hospital and Soho House Retail.
Graduates described the programme as transformative, offering fresh perspectives on strategy, leadership, technology and sustainability. Many cited the diverse cohort as a major strength, with students bringing experience from across the public, private and third sectors.
The cohort graduated alongside around 450 undergraduate and postgraduate students at the ceremony, which included a powerful speech from student speaker Ijeoma Chuku (BSc Business Management with a Year in Industry (2025)).
