Masters
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
it for?
The broad aim of the MBA is to provide you
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,
group work and attending residentials at home
and overseas.

course, followed by the submission of a dissertation.

(and probably for your family!) We will try to
