Master of Business Administration, MBA

The MBA is our on campus MBA programme. It is focused on the real needs of business and is designed to provide you with an opportunity to develop your understanding of the knowledge and skills required to succeed in today’s evermore challenging business world.

An MBA is the most popular professional degree programme in the world. The University of Aberdeen MBA is a globally recognised qualification designed to develop your leadership skills, underpinned by practical and theoretical knowledge. It offers you the opportunity to formally recognise your business expertise and will take you to the next level in terms of career progression, earnings potential and job satisfaction. In short, our MBA will provide you with the credentials needed to compete against the best.

Our MBA is not all about business dogma, it’s refreshingly different. Our programme encourages you to challenge the way business is done, and find new, more effective, more creative ways of doing it. Our MBA attracts many talented people from different industries, from all over the world. In this way, you’ll be able to learn from your peers, share ideas, create professional networks and make friendships that last well beyond the academic experience.

MBA graduates are in high demand worldwide and the average salary of an MBA graduate is over £80,000 according to the Association of MBAs. Our Alumni have enjoyed much success with recent graduates going on to work in organisations such as Accenture, Bank of Scotland, Centrica, KPMG, Shell and Standard Chartered Bank.

This programme is for you if you have a minimum of TWO years post-degree work experience; a track record of professional achievement and a good first degree (equivalent to a British second-class Honours degree) or above in any discipline.
