OneMBA, the global executive MBA spanning four continents and five schools, is this year celebrating its fifth anniversary.
Since its inception the programme has gone from strength to strength and a 120-strong cohort is planned for the September intake.
“The quality of the students on the programme is phenomenal,” says Peter Brews, associate dean, OneMBA programme, at the Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – one of the five partner schools.
The programme is a niche market, Prof Brews admits, but nonetheless at Kenan- Flagler demand for a place is high. Over the course of the 21-month programme OneMBA participants study in the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia. An additional India component is also being considered, he says.
The other partner schools are the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Faculty of Business; RSM Erasmus University, Rotterdam; Tecnológico de Monterrey Graduate School of Business Administration and Leadership (Egade), Mexico; and Fundação Getulio Vargas in Brazil.
