Tony Mullen may be one of the world’s most travelled commuters. Each month the Australia-based chief operating officer of Events Management Queensland completes a 20,000-mile round trip to attend an executive MBA programme at University of Cambridge, Judge Business School in the UK.
EMBA programmes (an MBA for working executives), based on monthly weekend classes and online modules, are attracting many more overseas-based candidates. Mr Mullen is one of a growing army of MBA students prepared to travel incredible distances to study at their business school of choice.
“To me getting on a plane is a bit like getting on a train – it’s really just part of the deal,” says Mr Mullen.
