Focus on your goals. Where do you want this global network to be? There are many programmes run with US schools or schools with campuses in the Gulf or far east.

Hi Duncan, thank you for your reply.

I am looking to build my network across Western Europe & (Middle East & South East) Asia.

Manchester and Insead stand out as schools with EMBA locations in Europe, the Gulf and south east Asia.

Insead - is beyond my financial reach at the moment. 

Manchester - This seems to be an online course with 3 immersion sessions in 24 months ? (Both the global mba & kelley/Manchester). I prefer cohorts with in-person  interactions.

Was looking at Essec- Mannheim EMBA - considering its Europe & Asia tracks.

No. Alliance has a week on campus every term, so six sessions over two years. 30 days on campus feels like a lot of interaction to me. https://www.manchester.ac.ae/programmes/part-time-global-mba
