Global Executive MBA fees and funding

The fee for the Global Executive MBA is £42,250, which can be paid in instalments on a semester-by-semester basis.

Scholarships and bursaries

To help with fees, we offer scholarships for candidates with excellent achievements. Our scholarships also support cultural and professional diversity in the Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) programme and the school's commitment to social responsibility.

Candidates selected to the interview stage will be invited to present their case for a scholarship as part of the interview process.

We expect our scholarship award holders to contribute dynamically to all aspects of the programme and become excellent ambassadors to the School and our alumni community. Scholarships are:

Open to all self-funding candidates
Operated on a one-discount policy - discounts cannot be accumulated.
