The full-time Loughborough MBA exploits our links with business and industry to provide learning that is informed by real-life management issues facing organisations today, and which is immediately applicable to the working environment. You will look at smarter approaches for managing scarce resources and adapting to global challenges and economic uncertainty – skills increasingly in demand, across sectors.
Our modules in Managing Innovation and Managing Enterprise, unique in the UK, give you the opportunity to work alongside technologists and plan a strategy for taking a new product to market. The full-time MBA’s focus on enterprise makes it a particularly ideal choice for students with entrepreneurial aspirations.
Developing practical knowledge and skills underpinned by theory and academic rigour, the full-time Loughborough MBA helps you grow in confidence as a decision-maker and a manager of people. Your education will be enhanced by a cohort of like-minded students from diverse professional and academic backgrounds. Learning from group discussion and shared experiences not only provides a stimulating educational environment, but also enables you to develop your understanding of the ways organisations and individuals operate, transforming the way you work with others and building your skills as a creative problem-solver able to turn challenges into opportunities for competitive advantage.
