The Surrey MBA programme is a blend of professional development and academic modules.
The programme creates ethical, creative and entrepreneurial business leaders and managers with an international perspective. Full Time and part time Executive students study the same core subjects, with their delivery and assessment tailored for each programme.
Compulsory modules
Managing Human Resources
You must be able to critically evaluate management approaches and explore how these can be applied to best effect, so this module will provide - and build on - a basic understanding of drivers and constraints of human action within organisations.
Marketing Management
Integrating theoretical concepts and models with practical application means you can measure the contribution marketing makes to business success. We will help you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the principles and practice of marketing management within an organisational setting.
Operations Strategies
While the Surrey MBA will help you to master the day-to-day skills and issues involved in running a business, every organisation needs to keep an eye on the bigger picture.
Building on theoretical understanding and practical exploration of operations strategy, this module demonstrates how strategic operations management enhances corporate planning.
Financial Management
Understanding and analysing published financial accounts is a key managerial skill. Honing this ability will improve your critical evaluation of actual business performance in any given situation.
Strategic Management in a Global Context
Understanding the competitive market forces at play in the economy is only part of strategic management in a global context. You need to master, through theory and practice, the knack of formulating corporate strategy to embrace global environmental challenges, conditions and capabilities.

Accreditation
The University of Surrey School of Management is unique as the only business school in the world to hold simultaneous accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). MBA and Tourism students can be assured of the quality of their programme and the School as recognized by these awards.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an international body which assesses business schools on the quality of their programmes and operational management. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.
Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:
* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula.
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
An AACSB accredited business school gives an assurance that it is amongst the best in the world.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is widely recognised as the global standard for MBA programmes. The association has acted as an advocate for MBA programmes around the world since 1967 and assesses business schools and their post-experience management programmes against rigorous criteria. These criteria include:
* The institution offering an MBA should have a clear strategy and mission, explicitly expressed and regularly updated. It will have a clear understanding of the market for its products.
* Staff should be credible in terms of their academic qualifications, their ability to teach business at postgraduate level, the quality of their research and the extent of their business contacts and consultancy activities.
* As the MBA is a post-experience, postgraduate degree, students admitted onto an accredited MBA must have a minimum of three years work experience, with the cohort averaging 5 years experience.
* The curriculum should be generalist in nature and must cover the core business skills: marketing, the economic and legal environment of a business, accounting and quantitative methods, finance, organisational theory, interpersonal skills, information technology, and the processes and practices of management.
The School of Management has a long association with the tourism industry and a worldwide reputation for excellence in tourism education. It was the first institution in the UK to receive UNWTO TedQual certification for both its undergraduate and postgraduate tourism programmes.
The UNWTO TedQual certification system contributes to the quality and efficiency of tourism education training and research. It proposes a methodology and voluntary standards with universal scope to more clearly define the quality of tourism education systems. The UNWTO TedQual certification system is a quality assurance system for tourism education, training and research. The specific aims of the UNWTO TedQual certification system are:
* Establish a quality standard for tourism education and training systems.
* Smooth the way towards greater pedagogic productivity in tourism.
