Programme overview

This one-year programme is built for experienced professionals who are ready to think and lead like general managers rather than specialists. Across the year you move beyond your function to see the whole business — how strategy, finance, marketing, operations and people decisions connect — so you can take broader ownership and step into more senior roles with confidence.

Teaching happens primarily through weekly live online sessions on Sundays, which keeps your career moving while you study. Two five-day campus immersions bring your cohort together for intensive, in-person learning and networking; attending these modules is a required part of completing the programme.

Key takeaways

  • General-management depth across strategy, finance, marketing & operations
  • Weekend-friendly live Sunday classes designed around full-time work
  • Two campus immersions for hands-on learning and networking
