The MBA Global with placement is created to help students enhance their intellectual and professional abilities as excellent leaders and managers globally.
The MBA Global with placement programme is designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals and enables them to enhance their knowledge of global business. It provides a comprehensive understanding of global issues and supports students in their quest to become effective global leaders. Learning on the programme will rely mostly on real-world industry scenarios. This is to ensure that participants are equipped with the necessary skills and theoretical knowledge required to address contemporary business-related issues. The programme will explore a wide range of subject areas including dynamics of global business and practice, global entrepreneurship and innovation, ethics and global corporate citizenship, leading and managing change, international data analytics, financial resource management, simulated learning project, business consultancy project, global supply chains, strategic management and leadership, marketing and sales in the future economy and work-based project.
Following the completion of the first year of study, students on the programme will embark on a mandatory one-year industry placement with any organisation of their choice. The placement year is designed to provide learners with the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in their first year of study in a practical context. Students are thus able to establish the link between academic theories and professional practice and in the process sharpen their skills. You can find out more about placements here.
