Throughout your MBA journey, you will engage with cutting edge academic thinking on leadership and have the opportunity to hone your leadership skills and network with business leaders from across the UK and globally.

In the Global Managerial Economics module, you will develop the skills of a corporate manager through the use of theories and frameworks to undertake critical analysis of company strategies, whilst in the Operations Management module, you will explore dynamic operational contexts within the modern business landscape and implement strategies to utilise technologies that enhance efficiency, productivity and competitiveness. You will also develop leadership skills through the Intelligent Organisation module by selecting the most suitable technologies for specific challenges and designing a practical implementation plan aligned with the readiness of the business.

You will engage with advance management learning practices and learn to apply the latest theories of leadership to how you work in the Responsible and Effective Leadership module. As part of this module, you will have the opportunity to learn from a senior business leader at our Leadership Dinner.

Throughout your MBA journey, there will be further input from external speakers who are exceptional values-based leaders, as well as many opportunities to hone your leadership skills when working with others to complete in class activities and challenges.

Meeting recognised leaders at the Leadership Dinner provides a critical insight into the minds and thoughts of those that have already achieved at the highest level. It’s a very good way to learn from the success and failures of leaders who have been genuinely open and honest in discussions with students.
