"The Global Online MBA programme at Imperial College Business School is one of the highest-ranked in the world and now that I have joined my cohort, it is clear why. This programme is not retrofitted for an online platform, it was built from the ground up to ensure learning is maximised, content is tailored to the experienced professional, and the platform supports learning at a distance, with opportunities to participate in-person."

“The Global Online MBA transforms your thinking. Throughout the modules, critical thinking is emphasised, training the mind to pose questions beyond the obvious. No longer do I find myself with glazed eyes over income statements or disinterested in discussions. Now, I comprehend operating margins and profit margins and their connection to the bigger picture. This is where technology intersects with business, where theory aligns with reality.”

“Imperial brings together the best from both disciplines and offers something different from what other traditional business schools propose. Of course, the Global Online MBA programme covers the fundamentals of Economics, Finance, Strategy or Marketing, but also offers the possibility of learning how to code, getting up to speed with AI innovations, or even sharing electives with students from other programmes with different backgrounds.”

“A dedicated career consultant was assigned to us at the very beginning of our Global Online MBA journey. My counsellor went through my Strenthoscope assessment, which summarised my strengths and performance risks and measured my leadership effectiveness. She also went through my career plans, set up action plans for me and gave me personalised advice in my welcome meeting.”
