Summary

Overview Are you a senior manager who wants to develop your knowledge and leadership skills?

This part-time degree apprenticeship is for people with professional experience, and prepares you for senior leadership and management roles in private and third-sector organisations. It doesn't cost you anything because the Government and your employer pay your fees.

You'll study on day release from your job. You'll develop your leadership, management and entrepreneurial capabilities and build expertise in key business areas such as corporate communications, financial management, business strategy and change management. You’ll study with peers from other industries and immediately apply what you learn in your job.

After you complete the course, you can apply to the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to become a Chartered Member (CMg MCMI) or a Chartered Fellow (CMgr FCMI), depending on your experience. You’ll accelerate your career progression and have the skills, knowledge and confidence to go into senior management and leadership positions in roles such as chief executive, general manager or finance director. You'll also have the skills and knowledge to launch your own business in the future.

Part-time MBA option You can also do this Strategic Leadership MBA as a standard part-time MBA. This option isn't funded by the Government's apprenticeship levy, but it is eligible for some postgraduate funding such as a postgraduate student loan.

What you'll experience On this MBA degree apprenticeship course, you'll: * Link theory and research to management practice by applying what you learn to your current role and workplace

  • Learn from staff with research and consultancy experience, and links with industry

  • Work on an applied project to deliver practical value for your own organisation (or another) by analysing a challenge or opportunity and providing useful recommendations

  • Hone your analytical and research skills

  • Use your Applied Learning Portfolio to demonstrate how you’re applying new knowledge and behaviours in a work-based context

  • Participate in a Leadership in Action Forum to assess your strengths and opportunities as a leader

  • Learn from industry experts while expanding your network with guest lectures and business events

  • Explore opportunities and hear from talent management experts at our Enterprise and Employability Week events, professional networking events and job fairs

  • Tap into our Library’s vast selection of electronic resources, which are available 24/7 and include access to thousands of e-journals

  • Get access to Chartered Management Institute (CMI) materials throughout the course, including useful articles and scenarios

Career planning You can review and refine your career plans throughout the programme with support from course tutors, and Careers and Employability staff. The course also includes a leadership development workshop.

After you leave the University, you can continue to get help, advice and support for up to 5 years from our Careers and Employability team as you advance in your career.

Careers and opportunities When you graduate, you'll have the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to fulfil your career ambitions, in your current company and beyond.
