One year, full time MBA
Accelerated students are usually full-time, self-sponsored and are seeking to broaden their horizons and accelerate their careers.
While all projects and assignments are aimed at embedding and applying the learning, Accelerated MBA students use the assignments and project to develop their abilities in new settings. This programme is full time and starts in September.
How is the Ashridge MBA different?
Central to our Full-time MBA is the belief that business functions should not be addressed in isolation. Managers require a broad, integrated range of business skills to negotiate the complexities of the business world with confidence.
Wherever possible, we use the ‘live case’ method, through which students work with organisations to apply their learning to real situations and to add value to various clients as they progress through the MBA.
The aim of the Ashridge Full-time MBA is to develop leadership capability among participants to achieve personal and organisational success.
How do we deliver this?
By applying the same principles to our MBA programmes as we do to our Executive Education programmes we:
provide you with a carefully selected cohort of peers, each one selected for what he or she can bring to the learning experience
provide you with top class faculty who love what they do and who share from their personal experience of management and consulting with our Executive Clients
create a highly interactive, personal, supportive and challenging learning environment
treat you as an experienced professional who is able to engage with your MBA experience in a professional manner
maintain an open-door policy to allow us to be responsive and supportive
maintain high quality education standards consistent with our triple accreditation.

The Ashridge MBA programme includes the following building blocks:
- Induction: including skills for study at postgraduate level, orientation to the learning journey and an overview of the academic regulations and the programme experience
- Core modules: Strategy, People and Leadership, Accounting and Finance, Marketing, Innovation and Technology, and Operations. These will integrate the core themes of leading change, embedding sustainabilty, creating value and managing globally.
- Masterclasses: offer the opportunity to learn from organisations around specific issues and challenges such as business start-ups, ethics, innovation, digital marketing and emerging markets
- International business experience: this involves a compulsory study visit in an emerging market to meet businesses and explore the challenges and issues of working across diverse cultures and markets. International options such as emerging markets, additional international visits and exchanges are also possible.
- Integrative project: You may choose to take one of three options from a Live Consultancy Project, Entrepreneurial Project or Research Project.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
