Executive MBA – (MBA)

This programme is targeted at experienced managers in employment across a range of industries and sectors who want to boost their career prospects and enhance their thinking about management practice. The part-time delivery mode is designed to be as flexible as possible to meet the needs of busy professionals juggling work and other commitments with study. The programme can be completed in a minimum of two and a half years and a maximum of six.

The programme comprises eight taught modules and a 12,000 word research-based dissertation. Five of the taught modules, covering the core management disciplines, are compulsory. These are:

* International Business Environment
* Strategic Marketing
* Strategic Analysis
* Human Resource Management
* Financial Management

Students choose their three remaining modules from a list of electives including: * Operations Management
* Perspectives on Strategic Management
* Strategic Purchasing & Supply Chain Management 1 & 2 (double weighted but counts as one module)
* Corporate Public Relations & Event Management

Other elective options from the full-time MBA programme are also available.

Each taught module is delivered in an intensive six day block spread over two consecutive long weekends – Friday to Sunday. This minimises disruption to your workplace commitments. Modules are offered at four points during the academic year – October, January, April and July. The main entry point is in October, but entry is also possible at other times during the year when a module is being delivered.

When the taught modules have been completed, a dissertation is submitted to fulfil the requirements for the award of the degree. The subject of the dissertation can be related to your work environment or to an area of interest to your employer, which may encourage them to support you with time for study or financial assistance.

The programme will equip graduates to move into more senior management positions either in their own organization or elsewhere.
