Aims of the course

The MBA is the premier qualification for individuals wishing to progress to strategic-level positions in their organisation. It aims to provide a rigorous grounding in the knowledge, skills and understanding necessary for participants to operate effectively as strategic general managers in a variety of environments.

Course structure

The MBA (full-time) is divided into two stages. Stage One lasts one semester and consists of seven modules, which give a solid grounding in all the key business functions. Stage Two has a strategic emphasis and consists of five modules and a dissertation.
Stage One modules are:

* Leadership and Management Development (residential)
* Managing Finance and Accounting
* The Economic and Global Context
* Managing Information Systems
* Marketing and Operations Management
* Managing People
* Research Methods A

Stage Two relates the material of Stage One to major strategic issues.
The modules are:

* Management of Change and Innovation
* Comparative Management
* Strategic Management
* Research Methods B
* Free option

Also complete one elective module (which is a module of my choice that is used to further focus study in a particular area of management). The dissertation is a major piece of work of approximately 15,000 words, based on research into an organisation or industry. The Research Methods module in Stage Two of the course prepares you for this.
