What you will study

Through the MBA, we aim for our students to actively analyse, question, interpret and innovate. This course will prepare you to identify and embrace potential opportunities whilst developing your creative capacities and collaborative approach in order to be successful in different environments. This full-time MBA programme is structured across 12 months. Teaching takes place in blocks, with weekday daytime classes, seminars and workshops. You will also attend a summer school in July each year to study your electives. An optional second year is available, in which you can complete a Professional Placement.

Teaching and assessment

When not attending timetabled sessions, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This typically will involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for exams. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, the library and CANVAS, the online virtual learning platform.
