Course Introduction

The Bradford MBA is highly ranked and recognised as one of the top global MBAs, accredited by AMBA and Equis, and with well advanced plans to achieve AACSB accreditation, the School of Management will become one of the few \"triple accredited\" business schools in the UK. The MBA is an integrative programme designed for those seeking high-level careers in management, whether specialists, seeking to widen their understanding and perspective or senior managers wishing to take that extra step up the ladder to the top. We believe that what you learn from the course and your tutors is very important, but what you learn from each other on the programme is equally important. We select our candidates carefully to ensure the best possible learning and sharing experience for everyone.

Our Accelerated MBA – the first of its kind in the UK – is a 10 month intensive programme which allows busy working professionals to return to work to complete a management project after only eight months out of the office. It attracts high calibre professionals with drive, energy and commitment from around the world

Accelerated MBA students benefit from working in small learning sets and mixing with students from other programmes and disciplines. This provides excellent opportunities for networking.

Accommodation is reserved on our Bradford campus for students on the Accelerated MBA so that they can take full advantage of the learning support, careers services and networking opportunities available during their time with us.

For full details of the Bradford MBA please visit the School of Management website.

Course Syllabus

All our MBA programmes are made up of three stages

  • Core modules – designed to help you get back in to learning and provide fundamental knowledge of management principles and theory
  • Elective modules – provide an in-depth understanding of specialist topics that are essential and relevant to the contemporary commercial world focused on sustainability
  • Management project – enables you to put the knowledge and skills gained throughout the programme to practical use on a relevant management issue

 The Accelerated MBA programme begins with a week-long induction, designed to accelerate you back into learning and help you get to know your fellow students. Accelerated MBA students take elective modules focused on sustainability and sustainable development.

Many of the modules are provided in a block-week format solely for the Accelerated MBA students, whilst others are held during the day or in the evening with our Full-time MBA and Executive MBA students. In this way, you will experience the full benefit of networking with a fantastic mix of managers and professionals with diverse backgrounds and cultures from across the world.

We use a variety of learning and teaching approaches, including lectures, case analysis, group work, individual and group problem solving research. Assessment is by a combination of written examinations, assignments, group projects and presentations.
