Executive MBA

To succeed in business today, you need to combine leadership skills with an awareness of wider social and environmental challenges. It’s not enough to simply understand finances and expect to be profitable. You need to adapt to society’s changing attitudes about the very purpose of business. The two-year Executive MBA at King’s Business School gives you the mastery of practical business skills you’d expect from a business course. But it adds the same level of rigour we demand from all our students and researchers. You’ll see how purpose-led branding can bring new business opportunities. Discuss solutions to the obstacles your business faces in meeting its ESG goals, and explore what it means to be a leader and how you can drive change across your organisation and beyond. You’ll come away equipped to respond to complex challenges, with confidence in your management abilities, and a support network that will last a lifetime.

“Much of the programme is focused on responsible business. Of course, we’ll work with participants to develop the personal and professional skills to reach the C-suite. But to really succeed there, leaders need to understand the wider challenges organisations are facing, from the climate crisis to leveraging diversity in the workplace. Responsibility and profitability go hand in hand in today’s business landscape.”
