• The MBA Global pathway helps you develop a broad-based, fully-rounded understanding and features key themes such as risk management and global supply chain management.

Studies tailored to you

There is also an online route to the MBA to give you maximum flexibility and choice.

In the final stage of your MBA, you can choose to complete a traditional dissertation or, if you’re studying on-campus, a Corporate Placement Project (CPP). The CPP allows you to identify, investigate and resolve a real management issue within an organisation: either your own if you are working, or in a placement company.
