Our Master of Business Administration with Professional Placement is a highly respected business management qualification.

This two-year intensive programme focuses on leadership and strategic management, setting it apart from other master's degrees. Its perfect for you if you want to build or advance your career in business.

You don't need to have management experience to study this course. You'll take part in a professional placement in your second year.

If you're unable to take a placement, you'll need to take alternative modules to earn the required credits. In that case, your degree will be titled MBA with Work-Based Learning instead of MBA with Professional Placement.

Why study with us

You'll complete a professional placement of up to 10 months in the second year of study. Youll apply for paid positions on a competitive basis to secure a position.

Youll be taught by highly experienced and qualified tutors.

Our course is well established and has an excellent reputation amongst employer organisations in the private, public and voluntary sectors.

Future careers with an MBA

Graduates of the MBA can progress to senior positions in their organisation. Some graduates also choose a change of career or go on to teaching in further and higher education. You can also progress to the Doctor of Business Administration or other doctoral level programmes.
