Overview

It’s an intensive two-year programme focusing on leadership and strategic management and this distinguishes it from other master’s programmes.

Key facts

The Master of Business Administration with Professional Placement programme from The University of Lancashire is specifically designed for those wishing to either establish or sustain a successful managerial or professional career in business.
Prior management experience is not an essential requirement for this course, as a professional placement is incorporated into the second year.
If you aren’t able to undertake a placement as part of Year 2, you’ll be required to take a set of alternative modules equating to the necessary credits. This alternative Year 2 would mean the degree title awarded would change to MBA with Work-Based Learning, instead of the MBA with Professional Placement award.
Graduates of the MBA can progress to senior positions in their organisation.
Graduates may opt for a change of career or go on to teaching in further and higher education. You can also progress to the Doctor of Business Administration or other doctoral level programmes.
