Rome Business School Nigeria offers a broad portfolio of Executive Master’s, International Master’s, MBA and Doctor of Business Administration programmes, alongside shorter professional and executive education programmes.
Programme areas include:
Programme availability, intake dates and learning formats may vary.
Start with your career objective rather than simply choosing a programme title.
For example, if you want to develop broad managerial and leadership capabilities, an Executive MBA may be appropriate. If you want to deepen your expertise in a particular function, a specialised Executive Master’s may be a better fit.
Our academic advisers can help you identify the programme that best aligns with your professional background and career goals.
An MBA provides broad management and business education, covering areas such as strategy, finance, marketing, operations, leadership and entrepreneurship.
An Executive Master’s is generally more specialised, allowing you to develop advanced expertise in a particular business function or industry.
The best choice depends on whether your objective is broad management development or deeper specialisation.
The Executive MBA is designed for professionals with more than 3 years experience, while the international masters is designed for professionals with less than 3 years experience. Both programs are flexible and can be run online depending on preference.
Prospective students should review the current programme structure, eligibility requirements and intake information before choosing between the two.

Recognition depends on the specific qualification, awarding institution, jurisdiction and the purpose for which the qualification is being used.
Rome Business School Nigeria’s programmes include international academic partnerships and certifications, and eligible Master’s programmes may carry European academic credits and double-certification arrangements.
If you need a qualification for a specific purpose, such as further academic study, professional registration, immigration or employment, you should confirm the applicable requirements with the relevant institution or authority.
A Master’s qualification may support applications for further education, subject to the admission and recognition requirements of the institution you wish to attend.
