“The great thing about the EMBA is being able to apply it to my job. Having lectures once a month means I have the opportunity to go back to work and think about what I've learnt at Cranfield and how it applies to what I do. It's been great to have bite-sized chunks which I can take away and work on and implement. The faculty here are incredible. The lecturers we've had are so knowledgeable, but they're also open and supportive.” Oliver Hiner, current student, (Executive MBA)
