"Pursuing an EMBA degree has been one of my life’s best decisions. The programme is tailored to equip students with essential leadership skills for the future while providing practical knowledge to apply to their work immediately. The opportunity to learn from the best business teachers and a diverse group of peers with different backgrounds and skill sets has opened up new perspectives and challenged me to think critically. The experience has both been challenging and fun, and the friendships I made during the programme will last a lifetime."

"I think most people apply for the EMBA looking for a change in life and to develop further. For me, it came down to getting a toolkit for running an organization and creating connections with people outside of my social bubble. It turned out to be so much more than a business educational experience. It has been a leadership training and a journey of personal growth. Overall my confidence has increased both professionally and personally and I feel more equipped to take on new challenges and solve whatever comes my way."

"I applied for an Executive MBA at RU to harness its excellent network within the business sector. Given the highly competitive nature of RU’s Executive MBA selection process, I knew my cohort would feature ambitious and brilliant people who would motivate and inspire me, and from whom I could learn a great deal. In many ways, my Executive MBA experience has exceeded my expectations. I have acquired new skills, further developed my talents as a manager and forged lifelong friendships along the way."

"The knowledge I got from the programme is very practical and it will help me to further develop my career. I like the fact that most of the teachers come from abroad which brings the students a very varied professional insight. They would also share their personal and cultural experience with us that helped us see things from a different angle"

"There comes a point in the life of a professor where one carefully chooses what to do and where. I keep returning to teach at the RU Executive MBA programme because of the quality of the programme, the hard-working students, the programme administration and the overall learning experience for me is well worth it!"
