in Business Administration (MBA)
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

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,
