Newcastle University Business School
The history of management education at Newcastle University dates back to the 1920s and Newcastle has run an MBA since the early 1980s. The Business School is one of the largest schools in the University, and continues to grow in both size and stature. In keeping with the University'sworldwide reputation, the School attracts some of the brightest students from across the globe. The Business School has a faculty of around 90, with approximately 1,500 undergraduates and around 300 master's and research students.
 The School has recently relocated its headquarters to Citywall, a brand-new futuristic building in Newcastle's city centre and opposite Newcastle's iconic St James Park (home to Newcastle United Football Club). Here, our full-time and Executive MBA students benefit from high-quality executive facilities in an ultra-modern learning environment. Our dream is for the Business School to become one of the top-ten providers of business and management education, research and consultancy in the UK. From an already strong base, we are rapidly developing. Newcastle's Association of MBAs (AMBA)-accredited MBA has been ranked in the world's top 100 MBA programmes by the Which MBA? 2006 ranking compiled by the influential Economist Intelligence Unit.
The MBA programmes
We offer an MBA in both full-time and Executive block-release formats. It has been accredited by AMBA for over 15 years. The Newcastle MBA focuses on the application of knowledge to real organisational problems across a range of functional areas and sectors. Detailed information about both our MBA programmes, including electives and student profiles, is available via our website. The full-time MBA is based around the themes of:
- the forces of globalisation
- transformational change
- the role of innovation, technology and information management in driving competitiveness
- organisational performance and governance.
 Key benefits of studying an MBA at Newcastle University Business School include:
- small teaching groups
- modern executive facilities
- teaching led by our research strengths
- a diverse cultural mix
- study in a student-focused cosmpolitan city.
The part-time Executive MBA has the same highly relevant themes, but is designed to allow managers currently working full time to maintain a work-life balance through its block-release format.
Other Business School programmes
 As well as our MBA programmes, the School offers a number of full-time one-year master's programmes. These include a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)-accredited MA in Human Resource Management (HRM), a CIPD-accredited MA in International HRM, an MA in International Business Management, an MA in International Financial Analysis, an MSc in Finance, an MSc in Banking and Finance, an MSc in International Economics and Finance, an MSc in International Marketing, an MSc in Innovation, Creativity and Enterprise Management, and an MSc in E-Business and Information Systems.
The School also offers both a full-time and part-time Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA). This is a practice based research doctorate designed for those interested in research and consultancy who may already have an MBA or Masters qualification.
