“Seeing our programme score of 9 out of 10 for satisfaction is fantastic. Delivering a transformational programme that helps ambitious managers become strategic, responsible leaders is what it’s all about for our team, so knowing our students are highly satisfied and recognise the daily efforts of our exceptional EMBA team is particularly heartening.”
