All assignments are based on your own organisation At Henley Business School, we organise teaching around real world dilemmas and business choises. Our Executive MBA is designed to benefit both you as an individual learner as well as the organisation you work for. Henley’s practical approach to learning emphasizes immediate application. You will learn how to think and act strategically to make an impact in your workplace. All subject assignments test your ability to apply the concepts you learn to a real situation, and you will be assessed on your mastery of bringing theory into practice – in your business context.
You will also be required to demonstrate insight and understanding through reflection on yourself as a leader and your own leadership challenges. You bring your experience and ideas. We bring global business management knowledge and cutting-edge concepts. Together we work to apply these to your world to understand the short and long term impact.
Collaborative Learning in Teams At the Henley Executive MBA programme, we believe in collaboration and discussion. This demands exceptionally high levels of interaction and peer group learning from all programme members. To facilitate collaborative learning as well as individual excellence, you will be placed in a small learning team supporting your learning outcome throughout the programme. Henley programme members come from a range of different industries with diverse skills, preferences and cultural orientations. This inevitably creates challenges for teams along the way, but at the same time allowing programme members to share knowledge and learn from each others’ experiences and perspectives.
