MBA
Summary
The MBA Finance is designed for managers who are looking to take a strategic step forward in their career and are seeking a specific focus on finance. It offers the opportunity to formally recognise your business expertise and take you to an exceptional level in terms of career progression, earnings potential and job satisfaction. Our MBA Finance will equip students with the knowledge, understanding and insight to understand contemporary issues and practices in management and finance. Importantly, students will develop practical interpersonal skills to bring about positive organisational and market change. In all of this, students explore management and finance in the context of international business and will be confident in their ability to become leaders in their chosen fields.
Through a combination of theoretical insights and real world examples our students will learn how to drive growth and sustainability within organisations in a sector of business that is constantly in high demand. This programme encourages the development of an intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial mind-set, where students will work to come up with ideas, develop, test and plan for new sustainable ventures. Through our unique industry weeks, they will interact with organisations, working to identify opportunities and develop possible solutions for investors and key stakeholders.
This pathway MBA equips students with an enhanced knowledge and understanding of accounting and finance that will enable them to pursue more specific roles in the areas of project finance and corporate finance. Students taking this pathway have to take a more focused elective programme in their summer term and will cover key aspects of business and management theory and practice, with a strong emphasis on balancing knowledge and skills.
