The MBA is internationally recognised as the foremost management qualification. Both experienced and less experienced managers see the need to supplement practical experience with sound strategy and an understanding of the range of disciplines employed in today's turbulent management environment. This course is aimed at suitably qualified and ambitious managers, keen to acquire the skills and knowledge vital to successful career development. The MBA will encourage your personal development, give you confidence and enhance your skills as well as encouraging you to take a variety of roles.
The programme is designed to provide a critical and applied study at postgraduate level of leading edge and contemporary management theory, delivered through real-world business problems.
Stage One provides a systematic understanding, knowledge and critical awareness of the essential functions, processes, their diverse nature, the governance and ethical dilemmas facing organisations and leaders and the external environment in which they operate. The fundamental objective of this stage is to understand the key sources of strategic advantage, develop a strategic mind set, leverage value, build organisational capacity and begin the process of understanding individual potential and their ability to develop leadership skills.
Stage Two develops a deeper understanding of leadership and management as an integrative process and this stage requires synthesis, integration and practical application to real and messy problems.
Stage Three provides a range of modules allowing the student to pursue individual interests and development needs. These modules offer a deeper understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights informed by the forefront of their academic discipline or field of study. Stage three also continues the process of understanding individual potential and further develops leadership skills.
Stage Four integrates knowledge and skills from all previous stages in a final applied individual project.
