Your Global Support Network – In and Beyond the Programme

In the Henley Executive MBA – Global, you are part of three networks to share, learn and develop in the programme: a regional ‚home network‘, a ‚European network‘ and Henley’s unique global alumni network.

Collaboration across industries, functional backgrounds and specialisms is a key aspect of learning in the Henley Executive MBA – Global. To foster this exchange, you collaborate at three levels:

Your 'Regional Home Network'

Every student chooses a home campus from the Henley campuses in Munich, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Henley in the UK. At this home campus, they study roughly have of the programme (32 days). In Munich, workshops are usually delivered Thursday to Sunday at the Henley Germany Campus at Maximilianstraße 40 in downtown Munich. In these workshops, about 15 students gather for intense workshops. These deliberately small class sizes ensure individual attention and highly interactive sessions. Currently, the Munich-based programmes bring together professionals from 15 countries.

Your 'European Network'

The regional workshops are complemented by workshops where the students from Munich meet with their peers from Copenhagen, Finland and the UK in joint workshops with 60 students. These take place in the UK (4+7 days), Copenhagen (4 days), South Africa (7 days) and China/United States (7 days) and allow for rich and intensive international and intercultural experiences.

Your Alumni Network

From day one of the programme, our students join Henley’s alumni network of more than 76.000 alumni worldwide. They have access to expertise, experience and fun people for both work and leisure. The connectivity among alums is assured through Henley’s online community Henley Live.

About Henley

Henley Business School Germany supports people in shaping the 21st century with others.

The 21st century offers a wide array of opportunities and many people observe them with a mixture of enthusiasm and scepticism. Do they ask themselves? What shall I do? Which opportunities do I seize? Which not? And what’s the basis for my decision?

Many people can’t answer these questions. They did not learn this at school or university.

We at Henley support these people in answering these questions in several ways:

• We support managers and leaders in co-shaping the future by combining their technical expertise, Henley’s business know-how and our focus on the human element. We do this in our Executive MBA – Global.
• We develop the reflective and interpersonal skills of managers, HR specialists and experienced coaches for use in coaching and other ways of relationship building in our Professional Certificate in Coaching in Munich and Cologne.
• We support direct learning on the job by using our reflective learning approach in the Henley Business Insights Programmes.
