An Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA) is a postgraduate programme developed for working professionals with extensive technical experience who want to progress to higher levels in their fields of competence.

Executive MBA programmes place an emphasis on advanced business functions, executive leadership, and management. They provide extensive knowledge on business and management themes, assist in the development of leadership abilities, encourage the construction of networks, and provide managers with an overall transformational experience.

Executive MBA programmes are two-year or less programmes with shorter class hours that allow business professionals to acquire their MBA in two years or less while working full-time. The majority of Executive MBA programmes span 18 to 30 months, which is much less time than other part-time MBA programmes, which normally last three to five years. Executive MBA degrees are among the most expensive study programmes available at schools and institutions both on and off campus.

Executive MBA programmes provide advanced professional development and complement and upgrade individuals' business abilities. This is accomplished in a short period of time with little opportunity cost while continuing to work full-time.
