What you'll study

The curriculum covers the core domains of a general and international MBA. Key subject areas named in the programme are:

• Quantitative methods and macroeconomic context
• Accounting and Financial Management
• Operations Management
• Marketing
• Use of information technologies in business
• Management and Organizational Behavior
• Advanced Managerial Economics
• Strategic Management and Policy Formulation (final integrative course held during the concluding UWF stay)

The Master Thesis requirement is integrated as four separate portfolio papers. Much of the learning is practice‑oriented: case studies, group work, presentations and company projects form the bulk of classroom activity.

Entry requirements

The programme is open to university graduates from all disciplines. Language and test requirements listed by the course are a TOEFL minimum score of 79 and a GMAT minimum of 450; the GMAT requirement is currently waived. Applicants follow a multi‑step admission process: initial advisory contact with programme staff, submission of CV and degree documents for eligibility review, detailed application steps for formal admission, and enrollment at UWF (typically starting in September) which is required to obtain a student visa for the January stay.

Career prospects

The MBA targets professionals seeking international leadership and management roles by combining general management foundations with exposure to US faculty and classmates. Graduates can expect strengthened managerial, strategic and cross‑cultural skills applicable across functions such as finance, operations, marketing and general management in international or transatlantic contexts.
