Modular Executive MBA in Public & Private

Introduction

Accreditation: AMBA: London, United Kingdom & EQUIS: Brussels, Belgium.

The Modular Executive MBA is a flexible, part-time executive MBA program, focused on your role as a leader during challenges in the (un)foreseen future. You determine the pace and you are the composer of your own MBA program.

With the Modular Executive MBA you set your own pace. With its sector-specific focus, the modules of this modular MBA are highly market-driven. This means that you can study alongside your job when it is most convenient for you, while diving into matters that suit your work and ambitions best at that particular time. Simply because it is you who determines the order of the modules.

Personal growth and development are the through line in all 10 modules that compose your MBA program. The learning experience is very practice based: in each module you will work on a case from your own day to day business in a team setting. This allows you to apply the lessons learned immediately.

Claim your MBA title (Accreditation: AMBA: London, United Kingdom & EQUIS: Brussels, Belgium. These accreditations are the legal basis for granting the degree Master of Business Administration.) by following the full MBA-program or complete one or multiple modules for a quick upgrade of your knowledge.

Why a MBA in Public & Private?

With the Public & Private MBA you will bridge ‘public’ and ‘private’ with a focus on the bridging of cultural differences. Not only will you be aware of the latest developments within your area of expertise, you will also personally become an even better connector.

 With a government pulling back and more tasks being outsourced to private parties, your capability of collaboration is one of the most important factors for success. You operate daily in an environment in which public and private cultures come together, such as hospitals, construction and energy companies and NGOs. This requires entrepreneurship and leadership skills from your end. That is why we continuously challenge you to create a situation in which you will continue to develop yourself.

Personal development and growth are central in all modules. What you learn will be based on your own cases from the work floor, which you will work on in a team-setting. This allows you to apply the lessons learned immediately.

The six core modules

The Modular Executive MBA program consists of 10 modules: six core modules and four electives modules. It is however also possible to follow each module separately. With every successfully completed module you receive a certificate. Upon completing 10 modules you achieve your Executive MBA degree.

Electives

In each of the tracks we offer additional specialization modules. These specialization modules are focused on current topics and developments within your industry. Choose the modules that suit you best to give your MBA more focus.

Take a look at all the modules of the Public & Private track here.

International study trip

The international trip is a module that deals specifically with globalization and the challenges that brings. We strongly believe that an MBA program that is focused on strengthening its participants' leadership skills needs an international component to be part of the curriculum.

Therefore, taking this module is mandatory if you are studying for a full MBA.

Thesis

You finish your Executive MBA Degree program by writing a thesis. You choose your own practical management problem, which you transform into a research proposal. For the thesis, you will translate the results of your research into practical advice for your organization.
