Master of Business Administration Advanced

About

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Advanced is designed for experienced professionals with ambition and drive who wish to develop their responsible and sustainable leadership skills. You will gain a holistic strategic business point-of-view required to operate effectively in an increasingly competitive and changing global business world.
The course has been designed to cover three stages:

• diagnostics, in which you learn to diagnose issues in real organisations with a focus on marketing, employee engagement, talent management and accounting
• exploration, where you explore the latest thinking and practices in organisations and research worldwide, while developing skills in innovation and business transformation
• integration and application, where you develop your strategic decision-making skills, undertake a real-world business project and enhance your personal effectiveness as a responsible leader.

The MBA Advanced offers students the opportunity to specialise further in their area of interest by completing four additional subjects from a specialisation of their choice. Specialisations are available in Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Project Management or Supply Chain Management.

Your learning approach will include real-world case studies, experiential learning including planning and executing an integrated and live business project towards the end of the course, and teamwork, with an emphasis on peer learning.
