If successful with the initial part of the application process, you will be selected for an interview either face-to-face at one of our locations in the UK or via online video platform.
You will hear within a week after your interview as to whether you have been selected for the Thinkers50 Executive MBA Programme. Due to the elite nature of the programme and the associated high demand, some students may be accepted with an unconditional place for a future cohort. Following your formal acceptance of the offer and payment being received, you will then begin your onboarding journey. This will start with an invitation to an informal drinks evening to start getting to know your fellow Thinkers50 Executive MBA learners.
The programme attracts apprenticeship levy funding of £18,000 over the two years. It is advisable to speak to the individual responsible for Professional Learning within your organisation in the first instance, to see whether you can access the levy.
