* MBA: 12 months full-time

We are now offering a modular part-time option for the MBA programme. For further details please contact the business-mba-enquiries@glasgow.ac.uk

The MBA programme is structured in a way that enhances the scope for personal and academic development, incorporating orientation and induction sessions ahead of the core modules, offering a rich choice of options, and finishing with the in-depth and applied analysis of a dissertation. Personal development sessions are provided throughout the programme to help you reflect upon your progress.

We take a unique approach to the MBA by basing our teaching within small group sessions in our own dedicated spaces, allowing for more collaboration and discussion than large lectures.

If you have not previously studied management or have limited coverage from your first degree, we offer access courses. If you are an international student, these courses are offered jointly with colleagues who specialise in teaching English as a Foreign Language.

The programme is based around six themes. These include your induction, your personal development and the five optional courses you need to choose: a great way to tailor your MBA experience to your future career plans. The other three are listed below.

Theme 1: Critical enquiry

* Understanding the external environment
* Introduction to research methods
* Decision-making tools
* Developing creativity and criticism.

Theme 2: Strategy and organisational performance

* Strategy
* Managing people and resources
* Marketing
* Accounting and finance
* Economics.

Theme 3: Strategic foresight

* Political contexts (geopolitics, corporate responsibility, scenario planning)
* Economic contexts (regulation and international markets, risk management, social and environmental accounting)
* Social contexts (the importance of place, personal and corporate ethics, cross-cultural management)
* Technological contexts (innovation, ICT and global communications)
* Environmental contexts (climate change, energy)
* Legal contexts (changing roles of the state, citizen and consumer rights).

Optional courses

* Entrepreneurship
* International business
* Human resource management
* Corporate communication
* Ethics and judgement
* Marketing management
* E-business and innovation.
