Durham Business School´s MBA attracts an experienced and diverse mix of students from different professional backgrounds and nationalities.
Our MBA is designed for the real business world and brings together analytical skills with the all-important soft skills to make it relevant to today's environment.

We ensure you get the opportunity to put these skills into practice through our exciting Boardroom Activity and via the Business Project.
The School´s Continual Professional Development programme ensures you will learn key skills from leadership, effective communication and change management, to cross cultural awareness.
The programme includes an international study experience of around a week. A mixture of company and organisation visits, lectures and cultural events allow you to immerse yourself in the business environment of another country.
