Our world-class open programmes help organisations and the individuals inside them achieve their potential.

These programmes bring together participants from across industry sectors and disciplines.

You will be joined by mid to senior-level professionals, executives, and managers looking to advance their careers, take on greater responsibilities, or individuals who are aspiring to transition into consultancy, working independently.

Most programmes run with 10 – 20 participants.

The dress code is business casual.

Our open programmes are designed to equip individuals and organisations with the understanding, skills and confidence to address today’s pressing business issues.

To respond to change, every business needs to be agile, flexible and innovative. And business leaders need the skills to make the right decisions, to drive their organisation and to inspire their people.

To help you meet these demands we design learning solutions that are flexible, accessible, personalised and relevant to you and your organisation.

An overview of the specific outcomes and benefits of each programme are available on the respective programme pages.

Work experience is required for all our programmes. Our programmes attract participants ranging from those new to their professions and to those in senior and executive positions.

The open programmes are not credit bearing. There is no formal academic qualification, although participants will receive a certificate of attendance for each executive education programme completed.

No, the programmes are not assessed. Some programmes, however, have projects and/or assignments to submit in order to successfully complete the programme.

Participants are expected to ensure they are free from all other commitments during the programmes. The daily schedule includes lectures, group work and discussions, as well as review and preparation sessions.

For most programmes, you will be sent pre-reading case studies or articles to read before you arrive at the programme and there may be homework scheduled for the evenings.

We will send the joining information 2 weeks before the programme starts.

This will include access to Brightspace, our virtual learning environment (VLE), and any pre-work that needs to be completed for the programme.

Our open programmes vary in duration and tuition range from £1,995 to £2,995 per programme. The tuition fee includes all meals, refreshments and programme materials.

However, delegates are responsible for organising their own accommodation and transportation for the duration of the programme.

Learning acquired from our programmes will enhance your current and future roles. Therefore, many organisations sponsor their employees to attend executive programmes.

However, you do not have to be sponsored by your employer to apply for a place on Bayes Executive Education programmes.
