Course Summary

OVERVIEW

The MBA top-up programme aims to help students, who already have a good foundation in studying business at postgraduate level, progress to a full MBA qualification by developing their understanding over the course of two research-based modules.

ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING

In order to assess the eligibility of an applicant for a top-up degree we ask for the inclusion of all relevant documents with the application. Credits may be awarded based on previous academic performance in equivalent subject areas or alternatively applicable knowledge gained through prior work experience. Final decisions on admission for top-up degrees and the awarding of credits are made by the degree awarding body, in line with the Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) procedure. When considering the relevance of previous experience we advise applicants to try to match their experience to the learning outcomes of the degree curriculum, a copy of which can be obtained on request from the Admission Office.

Modules

The aim of this module is to enable students to conduct substantial research study on a relevant research topic selected by the student in consultation with the module convenor and a specific supervisor. The dissertation is the primary integrating piece of work demonstrating that graduates can address a management problem. The dissertation module builds upon the Research Methods module, where the students get familiar with the research methods available. Accordingly, a high standard of achievement is expected, and the dissertation should draw on the intellectual and analytical skills and knowledge developed during postgraduate study. It will also provide an opportunity for students to develop their interests in an area and demonstrate an ability to undertake individual research.
