Or, as a recent graduate you can enhance your employment prospects. Whatever your level of experience, the MBA (Master’s Stage Award) offers a flexible study route and will allow you to refresh and enhance your management skills and knowledge.
You’ll investigate changing areas of strategy, leadership and management theory and practice, and will be able to confidently apply this knowledge to practical organisational situations.
You’ll be assessed through an 18,000-word dissertation or project.
The focus is on strategic awareness and problem solving through completing your dissertation. The MBA (Master’s Stage Award) course allows you to top up your existing postgraduate qualification, typically through 6 months full-time study or 12 months part-time study.
The programme is delivered as a part-taught provision with the flexibility to complete the course through distance learning after the initial research methods training.
