Undertaking an MBA is probably one
of the most important decisions you
will ever make in terms of your personal
and professional development. It is
also a significant financial investment
so you want to be sure you'll receive
value for money. Here are some of
the reasons why the Leicester Business
School MBA could be right for you.
 The
MBA structure brings to the fore current
thinking through an integrated learning
approach to management education,
reflecting the increasingly holistic
nature of a manager’s role in
today’s society.
The MBA commences
with an induction programme covering
the fundamentals of management education.
This levelling programme will allow
participants from business and non-business
backgrounds to attain equivalence
in their knowledge base before embarking
on the MBA programme.
The MBA will lead
with core modules that broaden and
critically examine key business and
management fundamentals. To enhance
the integration of these core modules,
Strategy in a Complex Environment
will form a “linchpin”
module, pulling together the strategic
management skills within the core
modules, equipping participants with
the ability to think conceptually
and holistically.
Dissertation
or In-Company Project
MBA students undertake either a full-length
research-based dissertation or a shorter
In-company Project, a new alternative
to the dissertation allowing students
to undertake a strategic management
project with a regional employer –
first hand experience of UK management.
Tuition

The Leicester Business School
MBA is competitively priced, and for

Location
The MBA students are based
in the Leicester Business School Graduate
Centre, a modern and professional
environment dedicated to postgraduate
study and research in business-related
subjects. This is located on the Leicester
City Campus, just 10 minutes walk
from much of the new university accommodation
and the city centre, and just 5 minutes
from many of Leicester’s fashionable
cafes and restaurants.
Leicester
is a vibrant, multi-cultural city
in the middle of England, just 150km
north of London (75 minutes by train).
It is a student-focused city, with
over 30,000 students studying at the
two universities in term time. The
city centre is compact and relatively
safe, and has enough cafes, shops,
restaurants, clubs, parks, galleries,
cinemas, theatres and museums to keep
everyone amused!
