About the course

The full-time MBA is a flagship management qualification for early-career individuals, structured to support fast-track career progression. It will develop your leadership and strategic management skills, and provide you with an up-to-the-minute understanding of the ever-evolving modern business environment.

This postgraduate degree aims to enhance your prospects by developing your ability to apply the latest thinking to organisational development and change in a competitive global context. Successful completion of the MBA highlights your potential to have a transformational impact on the organisation you join.

Units cover core MBA areas such as advancing professional practice; leading and managing organisational resources; management practice; and strategy and the global competitive environment. You can also choose to specialise with our innovative pathway options:

  • Digital Technology Management MBA
  • Finance MBA
  • Hospital and Health Services Management MBA
  • Human Resource Management MBA
  • Logistics and Supply Chain Management MBA
  • Marketing MBA

Additionally, we offer an MBA with Placement (22 months full time); MBA with Data Analytics (2 years full time). We also have a part-time, two-year MBA Executive course, for professionals who already have some management experience: the Bedfordshire Executive MBA.

Your course runs over three semesters, with six entry points through the year. The point at which you join the course determines the order of the units you study. You benefit by beginning your studies with others who started at an earlier point of entry.

  • Six entry points through the year adds flexibility, allowing you to start when it most suits you
  • Follow a practice-led curriculum that develops your ability to creatively apply theoretical knowledge and understanding to complex, real-life issues
  • Study with experienced academics who all have substantial management experience
  • Through practice events, work on live consultancy projects with leading employers in organisations across private, public and not-for-profit sectors
  • Explore the latest research in strategic management and leadership to develop your business competence and confidence
  • Develop the attributes and skills expected by professional and industry bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute and the Confederation of British Industry; these include team-working, negotiation, leadership, confidence, and the ability to apply critical and creative thinking to complex problems with the aim of finding innovative solutions
