The MBA programme is designed to provide an advanced course in management for men and women seeking senior positions in industry, commerce and public services. The core subjects of the MBA are aimed at developing knowledge and skills in fundamental management disciplines. The elective subjects permit course members to concentrate in-depth on more specific subjects according to individual interests and career requirements. The programme involves participation in group work with course members from many different industrial, commercial, geographical and cultural backgrounds, and is aimed at improving the decision making abilities of participants and producing managers of the highest quality.
The MBA General programme consists of a set of core modules, a wide choice of elective modules, and a management project or group project; it is taught over one year, full-time, two to four years part-time.
The core subjects ensure that all participants study essential areas of management.
The elective modules and the management project or project allow you to build on these fundamental areas and tailor-make your own version of the Nottingham MBA.
The semester based part-time MBA is very flexible and can be spread over two to four years. This flexibility allows you to fit the MBA around your work and other commitments.
Core modules are usually offered twice during an academic year, once during the day and once in the evening. To facilitate part-time working, most elective modules are offered in the evening every two to three years. Some elective modules are offered in a one-week intensive course, plus project work.
Part-time course members take the same core modules and have the same choice of electives as full-time MBAs.
Each module is usually examined by assessed course work and/or a two-hour exam held after the end of the relevant semester.
Course members can usually choose up to two elective modules from the School's other MBA programmes.
The final stage of the MBA involves an individual management project or a group consultancy project with an individual management report.
This course is offered at the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee campus in the UK or at our campus in Malaysia. In addition, the course can be taken on a part-time basis in Singapore as a result of a collaboration between the University and TUV SUD Asia Pacific.
