MBA (Master of Business Administration)

The MBA is an internationally recognised management qualification. It develops your ability to make a significant contribution to the management, leadership and development of your organisation.

This course is for middle and senior managers, entrepreneurs and leaders who are seeking stimulating career and professional development relevant to today’s global management environment.

You gain skills in the main disciplines of modern management to equip you with the latest management tools and techniques. These improve your ability to lead and motivate others, and develop your analytical and problem-solving skills.

You study with people from a range of organisations and professions with similar ambitions. This allows you to share experiences and discuss real issues that heighten your academic learning.

During the course you can take work experience and learn about the UK working environment, if this is not already familiar to you. This is normally as part of a team working on a consultancy project addressing a specific issue for a client company.

You should have several years work experience, including at least two years in a specific management or supervisory role.

As part of the course, you take part in a three day residential event outside of Sheffield. You complete a range of activities relating to business in global markets including:

• practicing business decision making
• working with fellow students on group presentations
• attending industry talks from expert speakers on business and strategy
