LEARN. DEVELOP. LEAD. 

Power-up your career with immediate impact

The design of our EMBA programme allows you to make an impact quickly. EMBA graduates become invaluable assets to their organisation - and often make a dramatic, lasting impact thanks to the wide-ranging skillsets they have developed during their time with us.
Our all-round education covers everything from marketing, digitalisation, innovation and sustainability, to accounting and economics, not to mention real world assignments which encourage you to chose genuine organisational challenges on which to practice your new-found skills. As you grow with the programme, so do the business tools in your arsenal. And each time you head back to 'base', you will feel more confident about the innovative leader you are becoming.

Two key outcomes from the EMBA programme at CBS are the development of my business analysis and strategy toolbox and the diverse network of professionals. Combined with my technical engineering degree, the EMBA has given me an understanding of a business as a whole.
