The General Management MBA specialisation can help you become a more accomplished manager all-round.

We support you in identifying your strengths and weaknesses and working with them to help you progress. The Digital Innovation Management MBA focuses on equipping future leaders and aspiring managers with the toolkit aimed at dealing with technological innovation, vast amounts of digital information, Big Data and using them to make strategic decisions. This matches and reflects upon the increasing digitalisation and the reliance on Big Data as well as the disruptive shifts taking place in the work environment and economy. The course is designed for professionals who work in the IT sector and have an engineering or technical background, as well as entrepreneurs. The Digital Innovation Management MBA has seven core modules (students do not take Operations Management) and two electives: Information Systems in Organisations and Managing Digital Technology and Innovation. The Healthcare Management MBA focuses on application of knowledge in the healthcare industry and enables students to develop managerial skills to handle real-life business situations in the sector. The MBA (Healthcare Management) course is designed for professionals in the NHS, public health services and outside suppliers and consultancies. The Brunel MBA part-time course is designed to maximise your career impact in the global market over a two-year study period, without having to take a break from work. Study time for the part-time MBA is 12 hours per week over a maximum of three days, with some classes on Saturdays, making the programme an ideal option for full-time working professionals in and around London. The Career Development Programme is an integral part of your professional development while you are studying your MBA. Landing a top job after completing your MBA is, of course, a key objective, and the Career Development Programme is designed to provide the tools to help you achieve your ambitions. The programme will help you define your career goals and create a personalised career action plan. You’ll have access to one-to-one careers coaching to help you understand what makes you stand, out whether it’s your particular management experience and skills or specialist knowledge. We’ll also help you with your CV, LinkedIn profile, and a professional portfolio as well as providing support in building a career plan, job-hunting, writing applications that get noticed, and brushing up on interview techniques. As part of your MBA course, Brunel provides an innovative series of Leadership Masterclasses.
