In addition to the Imperial MBA programmes we offer a suite of MSc courses in Management, Risk Management and Financial Engineering, International Health Management, Finance and Actuarial Finance.

The full-time MBA course is a one-year (50-week) intensive course. Each year we take approximately 50 students from a variety of backgrounds, both cultural and academic. The learning methodology incorporates the full range of lectures, tutorials, student presentations, guest speakers, individual and syndicate group coursework, examinations and projects. Most students choose the Imperial MBA either to leverage their position within an organisation or to bring about a career change by industry or function. Students have an average of seven years of work experience prior to starting the programme.
Basic managerial concepts are followed by study of company functions, leading on to business environment and strategy. Students then proceed to the integrative modules designed as applications in which to practice core learning. Following this, students then choose six electives out of a choice of 25 and complete the year with a final project, a major piece of business consultancy work.

Core coursesThe core courses ensure you have an in-depth understanding of the essential business disciplines. They give you a solid foundation of knowledge which you apply to practical projects throughout the rest of the programme. You build on previous experience and acquire new knowledge and practical skills in accounting, economics, finance, statistics, marketing, organisational behaviour and strategy.
Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design (IE&D)The Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design (IE&D) course is a collaboration between Imperial College Business School, Imperial Innovations, the Royal College of Art (RCA) and other partners. The IE&D course goes beyond lectures, to offer you a real entrepreneurial journey during which you take an innovative idea and turn it into a marketable product. The process is as relevant to someone exploring innovation within an organisation as it is if you are planning to start your own business.
