The MBA prepares you to be a skilled and knowledgeable leader who can influence people, offer strategic direction and make good use of financial, human and technical resources. We will help you develop creative thought and insight and challenge you to stretch your natural abilities. Our mixture of theory and practice gives you academic expertise combined with real-world experience.
You will be studying alongside practitioners from a diverse range of business and professional backgrounds, and will benefit from shared experiences of management styles from varying organisations and business cultures. Our student-centred approach emphasises supportive, not competitive, learning. Our approachable staff foster a strong sense of community.
Alongside your academic development, you will be able to develop your key transferable skills, including:
* Project management and problem-solving
* Planning, analysis, organisation and implementation
* Teamwork, leadership, personal efficiency and communication
* Development of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship
Throughout the course you will be encouraged to apply the concepts and theories discussed during your course to real settings. You will have the chance to develop your practical skills throughout the course - including effective communication, team leadership, research, analytical and presentation skills.
In addition, you will be given opportunities to use IT in the preparation and presentation of your work, enabling you to become fully conversant with relevant business technology.
The course includes five modules - Organisational Management, Marketing Management and Financial Management, Strategic Management and Globalisation, and Leadership and Change Management - designed to cover key concepts in the critical areas of business decision-making.
You also choose one option from:
* SME Growth & Entrepreneurship
* Contemporary Issues in the Public Sector
The Masters award will require you to complete a supervised 10,000-word Dissertation.
