MBA
Is this course for
me?
Our Masters in Business Administration (MBA)
is aimed at experienced managers who are working in a position with
strategic impact. You may be working in the public or private
sector, or be an owner manager in your own organisation. You may
have an undergraduate degree, or equivalent, or a Masters degree in
another discipline. Alternatively, you may have experience in
business and wish to compliment your experience with a formal
business qualification. If you have a postgraduate certificate or
equivalent professional qualification, you may be able to enter
directly into the second year of the qualification.
How will this course help me
and my organisation?
You will have the opportunity to bring real
workplace issues to the table, to analyse and find solutions to the
challenges you encounter in your own working environment. The
course is ‘action based’ which means that in your assignments and
dissertation you will apply your learning directly to your work,
giving you the opportunity to make real improvements to the
business. You will also benefit from developing the ability to
objectively challenge the status quo, to critically analyse
situations, to reflect on your actions and learning, and to gain
confidence in your management and leadership skills.
Course description
You will study the following subjects during
your time with us:
Modules include:
- Year 1: Marketing, Knowledge and Information, Operations
Management, Human Resources, Finance, Organisation

- Year 2: International Business, Strategy, Advanced
Communication Techniques (NLP), Innovation & Enterprise,
Analytical Techniques and Research methods. During this year you
will also complete a dissertation for which you will research a
real strategic issue within your organisation, implement
changes as a result of your research and evaluate the impact of
your actions. This is an opportunity to develop your personal
skills as well as to add real value to your
organisation.
Assessment
There are no examinations and a variety of
innovative assessment methods are planned to complement traditional
assignments and your dissertation. You will deliver presentations
both individually and as groups, giving you the opportunity to
demonstrate your communication and team skills.
