The main difference between a Master in Strategic Marketing and a Master in Marketing Management lies in their focus areas. A Master in Strategic Marketing focuses on long-term planning, branding, and market positioning strategies, helping learners to understand how to align marketing with broader business goals.

A Master in Marketing Management emphasises the operational and tactical aspects of managing marketing activities, such as campaign execution, team leadership, and resource management.

The main differences between an Online MBA and an Executive MBA lie mainly in their audience, format, requirements and level of flexibility.

An Online MBA is a distance learning diploma that offers a high degree of flexibility. Courses and educational activities are accessible at any time, empowering participants to manage their schedules in full autonomy. This format is suitable for those who need to balance work, family, and education. The EDHEC Online MBA spans 24 months. An Executive MBA, while also providing flexibility, is often structured with classes during evenings or weekends. The EDHEC Executive MBA is a 16-month part-time programme.

Participants to both an Executive MBA and an Online MBA are active professionals who ant to level up their career and reinforce their leadership. The EDHEC Executive MBA is tailored for managers boasting at least 7 or 8 years of experience. Meanwhile, the EDHEC Online MBA requires a minimum of 3 years of professional experience for eligibility.

While both programmes are well-suited for working professionals, the Online MBA allows for greater convenience and flexibility given the programme is designed to accommodate distance learners with busy schedules. The choice between the two depends on your career stage, goals, and preferences for learning format and schedule.
