Graduate Master of Business Administration

Course Overview

Develop the knowledge and expertise you will need for a managerial position in business.

You will gain an in-depth perspective of all areas of business including strategic analysis, ethical decision-making, people management, financial analytics, marketing and risk management. A focus on entrepreneurial skills will be embedded throughout your course and your assessments will reflect the demands of the workplace environment, for example researching and delivering a presentation.

Your tutors will deliver theory via lectures before you explore those ideas in smaller seminars. You will learn in a collaborative environment using case studies to enhance your learning and your tutors will guide your development by providing immediate personalised feedback. You will complete either a work placement or MBA Consultancy Project; either module will enable you to apply your theoretical knowledge to a real-life business issue, before collecting data and research to identify practical solutions.

Career Prospects

Your managerial knowledge and expert skillset will include strategic analysis, financial analytics, ethical decision-making, people management, marketing and risk management, and your confident approach to identifying business problems and implementing a solution before they happen will be attractive to employers across industries. You could apply your acumen as a business consultant, or you could drive your own endeavour using your entrepreneurial know-how. Whatever the next step in your career, your highly-developed analytical skills will open a wide range of opportunities.

Applicants should either have at least a second class honours degree or have equivalent experience or training, normally from within the work environment.
