Is it for me?
The globally recognised MBA award is intended
primarily for those with business ability
and experience who want to take their career
to greater heights.
What’s
it for?
The broad aim of the
MBA is to provide you with a thorough
grounding in the principles of management
and in the main functional areas of
business followed by their integration
through the application of strategic
management principles to corporate achievement.
This is coupled with the opportunity
to explore a broad choice of topic options
and also the development of a special
depth of knowledge within a field of
your choice for your dissertation. This
is achieved through mixed class discussions,
group work and attending residentials
at home and overseas.

|
How
long does it take?
The full-time MBA is an intensive one year
taught course, followed by the submission
of a dissertation. It is possible to complete
within 12 months.
What
are the entry qualifications?
Admission is normally by interview and qualification,
this being a good honours degree, or equivalent
professional qualification. We would normally
expect students to have at least two years'
relevant managerial experience.
English Language to IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 550

Do I need to talk to someone?
It is highly desirable that you do so -
and, if seeking non-graduate entry, essential
that you do so. The MBA is a serious commitment
for you (and probably for your family!)
We will try to offer all prospective students
the chance to informally meet us, where
this is feasible, to explore all aspects
of the course and any further questions
you might have.
