What you'll study

This MBA emphasises the intersection of management theory and operational practice.

Learning is typically delivered through a mix of taught modules and an applied capstone or practicum that integrates tools and methods on real-world problems.

• Core modules (typical): Strategic Management, Managerial Accounting, Corporate Finance for Managers, Marketing Management, Organisational Behaviour, Quantitative Methods for Decision Making.
• Management and Operations modules (typical): Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, Process Improvement & Lean Methods, Service Operations, Quality Management, Project Management and Risk Analysis.
• Research and integration: Research Methods for Business, Data-driven Decision Making, and a Capstone Project or Applied Practicum in which students solve a managerial or operational challenge for an organisation or through a simulated consultancy engagement.
