MBA

Develop your knowledge, ability, and ambition to shape the future of an organisation and your career. Our MBA is a truly transformative leadership experience.

Learn and grow amongst global achievers

Our MBA is much more than a management programme. It's a journey of self-discovery and transformation and an opportunity to:

  • enhance your self-awareness
  • integrate and apply your learning
  • develop your consulting skills
  • contribute to, and lead, diverse teams

The next generation of leaders needs to be adaptable and resilient to change. With our MBA, you’ll learn to think and behave differently. You'll question established norms and search for new answers.

Our MBA programme gives you a carefully structured, immersive experience in a friendly and supportive learning environment. It will equip you with the skills you need to 'challenge today, change tomorrow' and prepare you for jobs of the future. You'll be ready for technology that's yet to be invented and opportunities we don't yet know about.

With our MBA, you'll develop the necessary qualities to be competitive in any industry or entrepreneurial venture. You'll hone your leadership, critical thinking and communication skills.

Your leadership journey

Our MBA programme is made up of three key phases.

The core modules will strengthen your management fundamentals, develop your global perspective and integrate your learning.

The elective modules allow you to personalise your MBA and tailor your learning experience to suit your specific career objectives.

Phase One: Developing your core skills

At the start of your journey you'll develop a comprehensive understanding of business and management. This knowledge makes our MBA the preferred route to success for the leaders and entrepreneurs of the future.

At the end of Phase One you'll take part in our Business Awareness Experience. You’ll work in project teams to practise and consolidate your understanding of core business skills.

You'll study two core modules and two elective modules. These will develop your skills and knowledge of emerging business trends and thinking.

You'll then integrate and apply your learning with the Personal Development Experience.

Phase Three: Making an impact

In Phase Three you'll apply your MBA learning and complete an Individual Project and a Management Consultancy project.

These allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the MBA materials. They'll also give you a real-life experience of working in a multi-cultural environment.

You'll also have the opportunity to start thinking like a director in the Boardroom Challenge. You'll use the knowledge and leadership skills you gained from the Business Analysis for Decision Making module.
