Full-time MBA (with or without Exchange)

You should have at least three years’ work experience in a managerial role. Experience can be from any industry, including the public sector, charitable organisations, or the arts.

You will need a UK first-class or 2:1 honours degree in any subject, or an equivalent overseas qualification.

Exemptions

If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, you may still be considered if:

• you have professional qualifications with substantial work experience, or
• you do not hold a degree or professional qualifications but you have a very strong employment record demonstrating a high degree of responsibility

If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, we may require you to complete the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) which is an internationally-recognised assessment of analytical, numerical and verbal reasoning.
