The
University of Leicester School of Management has an excellent international
reputation for the development and
teaching of management courses which
are intellectually stimulating and
highly relevant to your career needs.
More than 7,000 candidates from
over 80 countries have graduated
from the Leicester MBA and are now
enjoying successful careers.
The
Leicester MBA is cited in national
and international surveys and is
one of a small number of UK courses
to have obtained accreditation for
its full-time and distance learning
programmes by the Association of
MBAs.
The
MBA programme has been designed
to cover the spectrum of management
subjects, calling on the wide range
of expertise in the University.
It allows candidates to concentrate
on general management or to tailor
the course to suit individual career
needs by choosing one of the specialist
streams.
Each
subject is taught from basic foundations
before moving onto specialist areas
in more detail and candidates are
not, therefore, required to have
studied management previously.
