    Global (with Professional Experience) MBA, with work placement

    About

    Accelerate your career and take on the complexities of international business with this Global MBA programme, which includes an industry placement.

    Explore a curriculum that merges global business strategy with insights into local market realities. You'll study subjects such as change management, innovation and creativity, and the global business landscape - and graduate prepared to lead in a dynamic international environment.

    Throughout the course, you'll build a flexible and highly sought-after skill set that positions you for success in fast-growing sectors. You’ll also have the chance to tailor your degree with one of our specialist pathways:

    • Sustainable Business Innovation through Design Thinking
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation
    • International Tourism and Hospitality Management
    • Strategic Leadership in Healthcare
    • Business Analytics

    A business-related undergraduate degree isn’t required to apply. And with timetabled teaching concentrated into set days each week, you’ll have the flexibility to balance your studies with part-time work or independent study.

    After your first year, you’ll undertake a professional placement to gain practical, real-world experience in a business setting. This valuable combination of academic learning and industry engagement will equip you with the confidence, insight and applied skills needed to make a meaningful impact in global business. If you'd prefer not to do an additional placement year as part of your studies, you could apply for our 1 year Global MBA instead.
