Course content

Our Global MBA prepares professionals for leadership in an international context. This programme will equip you with knowledge and skills across the full breadth of the management discipline, including people management, strategic development and financial decision-making and control.

Your skills will be honed through the lens of international business and leading business transformation, empowering you and your organisation to respond strategically to the changing environment.

Your development will be highlighted through the capstone module, which is a choice of consultancy style project presented by one of our business partners or based on a challenge within your own workplace, or a more theoretical research-based topic.

As a graduate of this programme, you will have the knowledge and skills to:

• Demonstrate critical understanding and integration of management and leadership knowledge within a local and international context.
• Select and apply appropriate tools and techniques to different problem situations in meeting strategic organisational aims.
• Recognise the responsibilities of the Professional Manager operating within a changing technological and global marketplace.
• Critically appraise complex business and financial risks and manage strategic challenges, in regional and global contexts, and provide recommendations for innovation and business transformation.
• Synthesise multifaceted information and communicate in a concise, professional manner to inform decision making.
