Our modules have been developed in partnership with employers, making our course about much more than just what’s in the textbook. Through inspiring guest speakers, group challenges, regular social events, and opportunities to impact local industries, you’ll become a member of a diverse community of aspiring leaders able to face the challenges of 21st-century business.
This Masters of Business Administration (MBA) has a specific focus on supply chain management. Our aim is to accelerate your promotion to well-paid leadership positions, either in supply management or in any other function.
You will submit an assessment for each module to ensure you can progress. Assessments are coursework based and take a variety of forms. From written reports, to academic posters, each assignment will test your ability to apply your learning in the classroom to real-world problems. The programme culminates with a research project, which is a single, major piece of work on a topic of your choosing.
