Demystifying Finance in the Henley Executive MBA

How our Executive MBA 'Managing Financial Resources' module helps leaders to really want to engage with financial information

At Henley, we refer to the finance module as Managing Financial Resources or sometimes, MFR. It’s a module we know that both prospective students and enrolled Executive MBA candidates can approach with some apprehension, and question what prior financial knowledge they require.

The finance module is a core course for both of our Executive MBA programmes, and this webinar is an opportunity for anyone thinking of applying for our UK-based September and October intakes (or for 2023) to find out more.

During the webinar Clare Calderan, Associate Professor in Financial Management will cover:

• The Henley approach to MBA Finance – from preparation with online materials to the three-day workshop that ends in a full investment appraisal
• Making the link between theory and confident use in the workplace – getting to the point where you not only can but want to engage in conversations about finance
• How to use financial data internally to drive performance
• What you’ll takeaway on completion of the Finance module – understanding financial language for confident communication, strategic decision-making, and learning to challenge the figures and assumptions made by others
• What prior financial knowledge or experience you’ll need
• Your questions about the topic and the Executive MBA programmes
