Paisley Campus
Full Time
May 2026
1 Year
The MBA is based at our Paisley campus, situated in a historical Scottish town with a rich culture and architectural heritage. The campus is with travelling distance of Glasgow and has good transport links for students. There is also the option to study our MBA programme fully online. Your learning on the MBA is supported by AULA the virtual learning environment at UWS. Our MBA emphasises its pedagogical approach to vicarious learning where you will identify contemporary business practices and relate these back to theories and concepts. Key to this is peer-to-peer learning and the sharing of professional and business experience, as well as reasoning and reflection. In doing so, we believe that this provides an integrated approach to understanding the role of business functions and the challenges faced by the discontinuous business landscape. The use of practical examples and cases studies enables MBA graduates to develop the skills and competences needed to be successful managers. The MBA offers four elective module choices enabling you to tailor the MBA to suit your aspirations. The very nature of the MBA, as well as the significant peer interaction provides you with extensive networking opportunities allowing you to develop an international network of peers. Upon graduation students may wish to continue their study through a Doctor of Business Administration, a PhD and/or Continuous Professional Development.
