Business Administration

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above). No specific subjects are required. Ideally you should also have two years relevant work experience gained after graduation although well qualified and motivated candidates without this will be considered.

This MBA has been designed for those ready to make the leap into management roles from an existing job and those who are aspiring to become managers. The programme will give you a broader understanding of business by considering issues such as human and financial resources, customers and the business environment. Importantly, we take a strategic perspective on business and management and help you to develop the skills to contribute to major decisions made by organisations about their future. Applicants are welcomed from any discipline and from a wide range of job roles. Many entrants to an MBA have a science or technology qualification so it is not necessary that you have studied business or management before.

Throughout the programme, there is a combination of different forms of assessment to test intellectual development, vocational capability, and critical thinking. Coursework often involves both individual and group-based working. Case studies and problem solving exercises are used. Examinations take a variety of forms, using both seen and unseen questions.
