MBA Business Management

All students who enter the second taught stage of the award will have successfully completed the Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership at ECBM, mapped against 70 credits of the MBA programme. A good level of proficiency in the English language is required as the entire programme is delivered in English.
Students who enter the programme at the second taught stage, having successfully completed the Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership, will be considered to have achieved the required standard of English.
If a candidate applies to enter the programme at the first taught stage of the award, without the DSML, and where English is not the candidates first language, an IELTS score of 6.0 must be achieved with a minimum of 5.5 in each element.
To enter the first year we expect the students to have the stated required qualification/work profile as outlined in the programme specification, i.e. students must be employed, have 3-5 year appropriate work experience and show appropriate academic proficiency (Bachelor or Bachelor-level academic achievement).
It is of benefit if the candidates have some work experience, however it is not essential. It is not a prerequisite to have working experience, and a candidate who does not have such experience would not be disadvantaged, but this simply acknowledges that any candidate who has work experience will be able to relate their learning to that experience.
