The MBA programme
The Strathclyde MBA is based on collaborative learning, where work experience, knowledge, understanding and applicable skills are shared, worked with and reflected on. The programme is designed for ambitious, talented and well-qualified individuals with solid business experience. It comprises of compulsory modules supported by a selection of optional in-depth functions, allowing students to tailor their MBA to suit their career aspirations. Students spend time working on and building a corporate strategy. Strategic analysis and strategic thinking are central to the programme, and run throughout the modules. The MBA programme seeks to help students develop ways of grappling with opportunities and problems in the practice of management. The teamworking approach fostered at Strathclyde means uniting an extraordinary range of people from different countries, backgrounds and cultures. Managing this is a challenging task for each participant. Our full-time MBA has a truly international flavour, with participants coming from over 25 countries and around 70% coming from outside the UK every year, while our part-time
programme is a Scottish networking experience, and flexible learning allows the individual to tailor both the pace and place of their study. Whichever route is chosen, the MBA programme offers a challenging and stimulating experience, whatever your ambitions.
