Program Description:

The UEA full-time MBA is an innovative MBA programme with two 'firsts': The UK's first MBA that jointly awards a Diploma in Management Consulting. The world's first MBA Strategic Carbon Management

Key features: January start, December finish Organisation-based consultancy projects Scholarships and bursaries available The MBA programme starts in January 2010 and is divided into two intensive study periods that each culminate with examinations. In addition, each study period includes one Consultancy Project. In the middle of the year MBA participants complete a Challenge that involves the whole cohort organising a high quality business project. The Consultancy Projects replace the more traditional dissertation. These are group projects with well-established businesses that allow participants to adapt theory to help an organisation achieve its goals, whilst developing teamwork and negotiation skills. Throughout the 12 months, students attend Masterclasses given by national and international experts that are a valuable source of practical applications of theory. MBA participants also undertake a bespoke course to enhance their next career steps, the Career Impact Programme.
