Studying in collaboration with Robert Kennedy College, you’ll graduate with credentials that travel.

Complete the Programme 100% Online in as Little as 1 Year

Your time is valuable. This online format allows you to progress efficiently and purposefully, with a pathway that can be completed in as little as 1 year. The structure is streamlined for impact—focusing on high-value learning that you can apply immediately at work.

From your first module, you’ll connect theory to practice, accelerating your development as a strategic leader. If you’re ready to move fast, the pace is there. If you prefer steady progress, you can plan your journey to match your professional and personal commitments.

No Fixed Times or Dates for Online Presence

Life and leadership don’t follow a timetable—and your studies shouldn’t have to, either. With no requirement to be online at specific times or dates, you’re free to learn when it suits you best: early mornings, late evenings, weekends, or between meetings.

This flexibility supports true work–study balance. You can take in lectures, deepen your understanding, and engage with materials on your own schedule, ensuring that your education complements your responsibilities rather than competes with them.

Study Anywhere—Even on the Move—With Offline Access via Our Mobile App

Whether you’re at home in Lusaka, visiting clients on the Copperbelt, or travelling regionally, your campus travels with you. Our mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline, so connectivity is no barrier to progress.

This anywhere, anytime access keeps momentum on your side. Review case studies on a flight, revisit lectures between site visits, or read research on your commute—your learning adapts to your lifestyle.

Open-Book Assessments That Reflect Real Executive Decision-Making

Executive decisions are made with information at hand, not behind closed books. That’s why this programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question-and-answer exams, mirroring the realities of strategic leadership and problem-solving.

Open-book does not mean easier—it means more authentic. You’ll be evaluated on analysis, synthesis, and application: the ability to interpret complex data, frame decisions, and justify a course of action—exactly the skills that distinguish effective leaders.

Learn From Tutors Educated at World-Renowned Universities

Your faculty bring global expertise and high academic standards, with graduates of leading institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They combine scholarly depth with practical insight, bridging research and real-world management.

As mentors and teachers, they challenge you to think strategically, ask the right questions, and build solutions that work. You’ll gain perspective that spans industries and continents—insight you can apply immediately in your role.

Join a Vibrant Community From 130+ Countries

Expand your network with peers from across the globe, representing diverse industries, functions, and cultures. This diversity enriches every discussion, exposing you to new angles on leadership and new approaches to growth, operations, and change.

Clear, transparent fees mean you can focus on what matters—elevating your impact, accelerating your career, and realising the long-term return on your Executive MBA.

How an Executive MBA Elevates Leaders in Zambia

Zambia’s mining and minerals value chain is entering a new era of expansion, efficiency, and sustainability. With this Executive MBA, you’ll strengthen your ability to lead complex, multi-stakeholder projects; optimise supply chains; and manage risk across exploration, extraction, processing, and export. The programme’s strategic finance, operations, and leadership insights help you navigate commodity cycles, negotiate partnerships, and drive performance in highly regulated, capital-intensive environments.

Agribusiness, FMCG, and retail are digitising rapidly, with growing emphasis on logistics, market access, and customer experience. The programme equips you to design data-informed strategies, streamline distribution, and build resilient, customer-centric organisations. Whether you lead a local enterprise or a regional unit of a multinational, you’ll gain tools to scale responsibly, improve margins, and develop teams that innovate under pressure.

As Zambia strengthens its role in regional trade and infrastructure—from energy to transport and telecoms—leaders who can orchestrate cross-border operations and public–private collaborations are in high demand. You’ll sharpen your capabilities in strategy execution, stakeholder management, and change leadership—skills that translate across sectors such as financial services, logistics, renewable energy, and technology-driven services. The result is a broader horizon of opportunity, at home and across the region.
