Frequently asked questions

What is an Executive MBA programme?

An Executive MBA (EMBA) is an internationally-recognised post-graduate management degree for senior professionals with the ambition to improve their leadership and managerial skills.

EMBA programmes are part-time taking typically between two and four years to complete. The programmes are designed with less actual class time to allow busy professionals to continue working as they study.

Participants are required to have several years of management and leadership experience and usually tend to be in their 40s or late 30s. The professional experience and seniority of the students has a strong influence on how students engage with the course content and the discussions that take place in the classroom.

The learning goals of EMBA programmes revolve around both professional and personal development, with a focus on the development of a managerial and leadership skill set that helps professionals excel at the highest level in any industry or company.

MBA vs EMBA – What is the difference?

An MBA (Master of Business Administration) is an internationally-recognised degree designed to develop the skills required for your career in business and management. MBAs are usually full-time programmes for graduates with less than three years of work experience.

An EMBA (Executive Masters of Business Administration) is an internationally-recognised degree designed for busy and experienced managers with ambition to improve their leadership and managerial skills. EMBAs are mostly part-time programmes for managers and executives with more than three years of work experience.

Why should I look for accreditations when choosing a business school or university for my studies?

The quality of a business school or university can be evaluated by the number of accreditations (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS). The accreditations provide reassurance of the quality and the high standard of the programmes and the school’s or university’s faculty. Henley is proud to be in the top 1% of business schools in the world holding triple-accredited status from the leading UK, European and US accrediting bodies: AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB.

For example, MBA programmes in Finland are not regulated by the local education governing bodies. This means that without accreditations the schools and universities can independently determine the content and quality of their MBA programmes.

Why is the Henley EMBA – Global currently the only triple-accredited EMBA programme in Finland which offers a university-level master’s degree?

The Henley EMBA – Global is currently the only triple-accredited EMBA programme in Finland which offers a university-level master’s degree because it is part of the official degree system in the United Kingdom, where it is considered as a higher academic degree like other degrees that are completed in a university. In accordance with the Finnish education system, MBA programmes provided by Finnish institutions or universities are considered as additional education, not as master’s degrees.

Most of the workshops are held in Helsinki, Finland, selected workshops take place in Copenhagen, Denmark and Henley, UK.

How many hours do the studies require per week?

Typically, 10-16 hours per week.

Is it possible to take a study break?

Yes, it is possible to take study breaks up to five years.

How is the programme invoiced?

The tuition fee policy of this programme is favourable for the student and the sponsoring company. Invoicing follows the study schedule and can be divided into up to six instalments.
