Summary

Course Overview Advance your understanding of responsible business and what it means to be a purposeful leader. On our full-time MBA you'll work closely with industry professionals and academic experts who will challenge you to self-reflect and create your own business practices for a better world.

Course structure Our full-time MBA is a one year programme delivered at our Edgbaston campus in the UK. You can complete a global immersive module in Mexico, Southeast Asia, Europe, or the Middle East. Full-time MBA candidates can choose to tailor their programme to one of the following pathways:

  • Marketing

  • International Business & Strategy

  • Innovation & Business Transformation

Global immersive modules Full-time MBA students can complete one global immersive module with our partners in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Mexico or Europe. These modules are designed to give you exposure to an international business environment. Completing a global immersive module will enable you to compare and contrast different business systems and strategies in a country whose economy is markedly different to the United Kingdom.

End of study internships Full-time MBA students have the opportunity to participate in a 12-week paid internship with a UK-based company when they complete their programme. These internships are sourced by our dedicated Birmingham Business School Careers team so students can focus on their programme. More than 32% of students are now employed by the company they undertook the internship with and 50% of candidates extended their internship or were offered employment by another company.
