Strategic Business Management
The MBA in Strategic Business Management is based on a flexible programme structure with close links to business practice. The modules are self-contained, students can join the programme (almost) at any time, and the course can largely be completed online. The focus is not on a rigid, standardised programme, but on a structure that can be tailored to individual needs, comprising a small number of compulsory modules and one of five specialisations. This creates a study pathway that adapts to the realities of professional life whilst still offering academic depth.
