Testimonials

“I wanted to increase my confidence as a strategic leader” – Emily, EMCL graduate

Emily joined the course from a background in the creative industries, working at an international level.

“Having an inventive approach and idiosyncratic style has been useful to me in the creative industries” Emily says, “but I wanted to increase my confidence as a strategic leader in more recognised ways”.

Emily took advantage of the opportunity to convert the Executive Master’s into an MBA: “ I had considered an MBA in the past, but the cultural leadership accent sealed the deal for me.”

“It provided an unparalleled coverage of knowledge, experiences and network” – Michael, EMCL graduate

Graduating from the London School of Economics, Michael worked as an accountant at a FTSE250 company. His keen interest in art and the art world drew him to the course: “I wanted to expand my horizon and learn what I didn’t know about art and art industry”.

Michael’s favourite memory from the Executive Master’s was the study trip to Venice: “The quality of the art critiques we received was just unimaginable. It was one of the defining moments when I became more confident on giving opinions on arts.”

“A visionary program” – Joao, EMCL graduate

For Joao the course was “a unique opportunity to learn from London’s ultimate cultural leaders”. Joao was impressed by the way the programme addresses “urgent global citizenship issues such as digital inclusion, global/local dynamics and the recoding of the cultural aspects of every day life”.

A graduate of the Executive Master’s, Joao runs an art advisory business based in Sāo Paulo.
