Residential Courses (minimum 4)

The residential course design of the Executive MBA programme prioritises practical learning experiences that align with its focus on business strategy, innovation, leadership, and transformation for senior professionals. Recognising the need for real-world applicability, the residential course emphasises practical elements that move beyond traditional academic frameworks. Instead, students engage in dynamic sessions led by industry practitioners and experts, who share valuable on-the-ground strategies and insights specific to their areas of expertise. This approach equips students with the tools to effectively face challenges and make prompt decisions in their businesses. Additionally, sharing sessions provide opportunities for students to learn industry best practices, fostering a rich environment for collaboration and knowledge exchange that enhances their leadership capabilities and strategic thinking.

A residential course will include the following learning activities:

Pre-class study (around 40 hours)

Reading assignments, video watching assignments, video-taped lectures, quizzes, essays, and/or online tutorials

Intensive class meeting (around 40 hours in 5 days)

Seminars, workshops, class discussions, case studies, group presentations, expert sharing, and/or company visits

Out-of-the-class work (around 80 hours)

Group projects, group discussions, individual reports, take-home examinations, quizzes, video-taped presentations, and/or online tutorials
