Warwick EMBA students find they can fit study into their lives more easily

The Warwick Business School EMBA is among the top five UK EMBA programs, according to the FT.

Students study in thirteen intensive week-long sessions on the Warwick campus – one for each module. There’s pre-reading before each module and assignments after, but most students agree that the intensive bursts of face-to-face study are easier to schedule into a busy life than weekly commitments.

Most students complete the program over three years, though some do it in a little over two years.

On a recent trip to Warwick, four members of the current EMBA class told us what they hope to get from the program.

They gave a variety of reasons. One student said that his boss advised him to invest in education rather than take a job overseas to develop his career. Another student, in a technical role at Motorola, said the qualification would help him move into general management.

They also talked about the challenges of being back in the classroom and balancing family with study. Watch the video to find out more.

love your honesty lady on the right :)


 

didn't realise it was such a high-ranked program. seems good idea to go for a week at a time to study, no way i'd fit in evenings/ weekends around work


 

what's the cost of the Warwick emba? how does it compare to judge cambridge?


 

is one week of face-time enough for each module? how do you guys interact the rest of the time?
