Fast track your career in business leadership. Demonstrate your value to employers. Qualify for senior roles with significant responsibility.
An MBA is an internationally respected business qualification. In one year, you'll develop a strategic understanding of all aspects of managing a successful business. You'll study a broad range of topics, from financial management to operations, global strategy to leading people.
The course prepares you for senior roles that have major responsibility. Our aim is to accelerate your progress towards well-paid positions of leadership.
Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, class discussions, case studies, group work, presentations, and applied study. Your progress will be assessed with the dissertation and assignments.
Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this master's degree requires a higher level of independent reading and research.
