MBA
Our Master in Business Administration (MBA) programmes equip managers with the strategic, interpersonal, and financial skills needed to progress and perform at senior levels. We blend theory with practice so that from the outset you can apply the knowledge and skills you gain to your career.
Our MBA courses are structured so that in the first year you develop a core of management knowledge which then enables you to focus on particular areas of interest to you via elective modules in the second year of study. It culminates in the Management Project which is an in-depth investigation into a practical management issue of your choice.
