Our Master of Business Administration with Professional Placement is a highly respected business management qualification.
It’s an intensive two-year programme focusing on leadership and strategic management and this distinguishes it from other master’s programmes.
Our programme is specifically designed for those wishing to either establish or sustain a successful managerial or professional career in business.
Prior management experience is not an essential requirement for this course, as a professional placement is incorporated into the second year.
If you aren’t able to undertake a placement as part of Year 2, you’ll be required to take a set of alternative modules equating to the necessary credits. This alternative Year 2 would mean the degree title awarded would change to MBA with Work-Based Learning, instead of the MBA with Professional Placement award.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
