PostgraduateCourse summary
Designed for people with several years’ work experience, this course will accelerate your career or help you master your current role. This part-time taught work/study MBA course has been developed in collaboration with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). You will work and study alongside a broad range of senior managers and leaders, giving you the opportunity to network and learn about collaborative leadership. Earning an MBA has the proven potential to boost job prospects, because the course will encourage participants onto a trajectory of continuous improvement by constantly challenging themselves, learning about current issues, networking with other like-minded people and applying proven management techniques at work. The full MBA consists of seven taught modules, and an extended management report based on a combination of secondary and primary research. The management report is often referred to as a dissertation and is centred upon a 10,000 - 12,000 word work-focused research report.

Assessment method
The assessment methods used within the programme are designed to provide a diverse cohort of participants with opportunities to demonstrate and develop their abilities as appropriate to the level of study and/or their work setting. Each module generally has one or two assessments from the following range: written assignments such as essays (includes reflective essays, case study essays, essays that review or critique research or essays based on a trigger), individual and group presentations, research reports, literature reviews; projects, critical reflections and portfolios. It is intended that at least one of the assessments for each module will relate directly to the participants’ place of work. The assessment mode will remain consistent, but the content will offer you the opportunity to put your learning into action and to deliver knowledge and understanding to your organisation. Not only will this provide opportunities for action research, but it will also provide opportunities for you to act as an informal internal consultant at work.
