An EMBA is similar to a general MBA course, however, it is more suitable for individuals with senior management experience who are looking to further progress their career.
Executive MBA courses tend to be studied part time or via Distance Learning to fit around work, and typically attract older students who have already gained substantial experience in the world of business.
Unlike other postgraduate courses which provide in-depth specialisation in a particular field, an MBA is interdisciplinary. An MBA exposes you to all areas of business including accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources.
While both EMBA and MBA degrees focus on business development, have rigorous curriculums and are globally recognised, the distinction between them comes in the course design.
Executive MBA courses are a more ideal option for those already working in business positions, such as in executive, manager or consultant roles, and who wish to fit their study around their day job.
Meanwhile, MBA programs are typically studied on a full-time basis and are suited to individuals with less managerial experience.
