Our Master of Business Administration with Professional Placement is a highly respected business management qualification.

It’s an intensive two-year programme focusing on leadership and strategic management and this distinguishes it from other master’s programmes.

Our programme is specifically designed for those wishing to either establish or sustain a successful managerial or professional career in business.

Prior management experience is not an essential requirement for this course, as a professional placement is incorporated into the second year.

If you aren’t able to undertake a placement as part of Year 2, you’ll be required to take a set of alternative modules equating to the necessary credits. This alternative Year 2 would mean the degree title awarded would change to MBA with Work-Based Learning, instead of the MBA with Professional Placement award.

Why study with us

Enjoy a professional placement of 6-10 months in the second year of study – you’ll apply for paid positions on a competitive basis to secure a position.
You’ll be taught by highly experienced and qualified tutors.
Our course is well established and enjoys an excellent reputation amongst employer organisations in the private, public and voluntary sectors.
