The Executive MBA

About the course

Our vision is to shape, inspire and equip the new generation of socially-responsible leaders to manage ever more complex challenges in a Net Zero and digitally-transformed world.

Recent world events demand a seismic change in the way we live and do business.

There is an urgent need for inspiring, informed leaders to future proof their organisations and ensure a successful, just and sustainable world.

From the COVID-19 pandemic to Industry 4.0, successful organisations across the world have recognised the need to become ever more innovative, creative and resilient. They embrace disruption and complexity. They are agile, inspiring and socially responsible role models.

With these tough but necessary challenges comes an intensified demand for proficient and socially responsible business leaders, who can shape a fairer, brighter, sustainable future. Professionals who, of course, fully understand the essential business functions of strategy, marketing, supply chain management, financial decision making and other operational competencies but, also, the awareness and responsible behaviours needed to support employees and shareholders while accelerating company growth and prosperity.

Whether you are leading complex change to address the challenges of disruption, or an entrepreneurial business owner wanting to drive creativity and innovation, choose the University of Hull - experts in sustainability and social justice - to study for an world-class Executive MBA (EMBA) and be part of a powerful, diverse network of socially responsible leaders driving change across the world.
