Study Details: MBA one year full-time, two years part-time
Undertaking an MBA is probably one of the most important decisions you will ever make in terms of your personal and professional development. The Leicester Business School MBA is a leading-edge career development programme for practising managers from around the world. The success of our MBA is built upon the research and teaching strengths of Leicester Business School combined with the international business experience of participants.
This exciting course is designed to enable you to enhance your career with a combined strategic and financial management emphasis.
The MBA is a mid-career qualification – it is for graduates with at least two years’ management-level work experience. If you are just starting out in your career, or if you have some work experience but not at management level, then you should consider one of our alternative management-related master’s degrees designed to give you an advantage at the graduate career entry stage, such as International Business and Management MSc or International Business and Finance MSc.
The MBA (Finance) concentrates on current thinking in management and financial education, fostering an integrated approach to learning, reflecting the increasingly holistic nature of a manager’s role in today’s society.
It aims to develop your strategic management skills in an organisational context.
The course balances theoretical analysis with practical application, developing a critical and questioning approach to the conceptual underpinnings of management and finance.
A survey of past and present MBA students has indicated that as well as being ‘mind-expanding’, ‘fun’ and ‘relevant’, one of the strengths of the course is considered to be the quality of the participants, and the subsequent network of support created. Leicester Business School seeks to maintain the quality of applicants and recognises the importance of networking within each cohort.
