The Exeter MBA tackles global business challenges The world we live in is increasingly complex, risky, volatile and interconnected. More than ever, successful business leaders are those who understand the interconnections of our economies and societies and the ways through which global economic, societal, financial, environmental and technological challenges disrupt established businesses and strategies. The Exeter MBA is at the forefront of the circular economy and sustainable business.

The Exeter MBA is built around the very key set of values that define our elite Russell Group Business School: responsible leadership, innovation, technology, knowledge and practice.

Our participants graduate with a strong business acumen and the critical, analytical and leadership skills that are required to work and lead collaboratively. They are uniquely placed to appreciate how understanding the fundamentals of the world we live in can lead to innovation and business transformation.

*The Sunday Times and The Times Good University Guide 2019

Academically rigorous, yet experiential in nature The Exeter MBA is a partnership between the University of Exeter Business School, leading global and other progressive organisations.

Our partners are leaders in their field, yet at the forefront of change. They co-deliver the programme along with our expert faculty and set real-life business challenges.

Award winning, accredited and world leading MBA Our MBA programme was selected for in-depth review by the EQUIS re-accreditation panel of experts where the Business School successfully secured re-accreditation for a period of five years.

The Economist Which MBA? rankings 2019 named our MBA as a global top 100 MBA programme, and 5th in the world for student quality. The programme was also accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), ranked number 19 in the Corporate Knights’ 2019 Better World MBA Rankings and ranked among the best in the world

by CEO magazine. The Exeter MBA is offered at the University of Exeter, a global leading and UK Top 12 Russell Group University.*

The techniques I’ve learned in innovation have helped me connect the dots from challenges I encountered during my career as an IT consultant, and during the Consultancy Project where I was able to solve real-life problems for businesses.

How we develop our global talent Working in a multinational cohort alongside academic faculty, business leaders and MBA alumni, our participants have access to inspiring conversations, challenging ideas, and innovative thinking. This vibrant learning environment provides the stimulus and support needed to prepare them for the impact that they will make in their future employment.

The Exeter MBA places personal transformation at its heart, supporting participants to develop the skills and mind-set needed to lead within an uncertain global environment.

The existing knowledge, skills, professional experience and personal attributes of our participants forms the focus of ongoing personal reflection which results in an enhanced self-awareness. This stronger sense of “self” coupled with new knowledge gained from across their programme equips aspiring leaders with the confidence and tenacity to apply their learning to real-world issues.

The Norway expedition was an absolutely unexpected experience that was the best investment of time and energy I have made thus far in my life. This unique and challenging course has pushed me deeply exploring my strengths and weaknesses and defining the role of ‘I’ as a person and ‘I’ as a leader.

Yongmin Liu, MBA 2019

By working with our leading partners on real business challenges, our participants have developed the essential communication, collaboration, and creative-thinking skills needed to bring value to their Consultancy Projects.

Each participant is unique. What they share is a deep sense of purpose in their work, creating positive impact and creating change – for good.

The world has enough people with all the answers. What we develop at Exeter are leaders able to ask the right questions.
