Weekend Executive MBA
The Weekend Executive MBA (WEMBA) programme has been structured so you can get the most out of the EMBA experience without interrupting your momentum at work. In the first year, you attend one long weekend a month from April to December (Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning). Each module is highly interactive; you’ll be studying with a diverse range of like-minded professionals. Between modules, while consolidating your learning in the workplace, you cover new material through our online learning system, preparing you for more advanced classroom sessions.
Programme content
Whether you choose the weekday or weekend study mode, you'll graduate with a thorough knowledge of all the essential business disciplines to make the transition from manager to leader. The programme content is the same for both study modes:
- 8 core courses
- 5 electives
- Project
- Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design
- International Study Tour.
The study mode which best suits you will depend on how you like to learn.
Learning style for the weekend programme
The Weekend Executive MBA programme is highly intensive. The programme is 21 months compared with 24 months for the weekday study mode, so you’re covering the same material in less time.
You’ll spend one weekend a month at the Business School, but you’ll have to cover a lot of material independently outside the classroom. Online learning tools help you stay in touch between weekends, so you still have support. However, you’ll need the confidence to take concepts into the workplace and test them out before covering them in the classroom.
You may find the weekend programme suits you if:
- You enjoy independent study and working concepts out on your own
- You have the confidence to grapple with highly quantitative material outside the classroom
- You do'nt want to take time out of work every fortnight
- You don't live in or near London – it is possible to commute for the weekend programme
- You are free to attend classes at the weekend
-
Your employer would prefer you studied in your own time.

At each session, you will hear a short presentation from EMBA Programme Directors and enjoy a taster lecture where you can experience learning on the Imperial MBA.
