Entry requirements

You will need:

Qualification requirements

Alternative qualifications considered

All candidates must be able to demonstrate an ability to benefit from and contribute to the programme. QAA describes the experience requirement for admission to a MBA as "significant post-graduation and relevant ... experience on which the learning process should build". QAA envisages this experience as "at least 2 years with the typical entrant having substantially more than this". Given the nature of learning and the assessment of learning, participants would normally be in a position where they undertake important management decisions, or have been in such a position in a way that supports their learning and assessment. Admission, therefore, to the programme will require a mix of experience, academic development and intellectual aptitude. Students who have equivalent qualifications at level 7 may be able to enter this programme at different points e.g. 60 credits (or equivalent) to top up to PG Diploma/MBA and 120 credits (or equivalent) to top up to MBA.

International requirements

Other international requirements

International students must have a UK (Hons) BA with 2:2 or international equivalent qualifications plus at least 2 years managerial experience. Students holding lower qualifications will be considered on a nonstandard basis where significant management experience (>2 years) is demonstrated. This will normally be achieved by taking up employment references. Where English is not the candidate's first language, or their first degree was not taught and assessed wholly in English, an IELTS score of 6.0 must be achieved, with no individual score of less than 5.5, or international equivalent or a score of 6.0 (with no individual score less than 5.5) on the Unicaf English Placement Test (EPT). The programme complies fully with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
