The MBA Global with placement is created to help students enhance their intellectual and professional abilities as excellent leaders and managers globally.

The MBA Global with placement programme is designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals and enables them to enhance their knowledge of global business. It provides a comprehensive understanding of global issues and supports students in their quest to become effective global leaders. Learning on the programme will rely mostly on real-world industry scenarios. This is to ensure that participants are equipped with the necessary skills and theoretical knowledge required to address contemporary business-related issues. The programme will explore a wide range of subject areas including dynamics of global business and practice, global entrepreneurship and innovation, ethics and global corporate citizenship, leading and managing change, international data analytics, financial resource management, simulated learning project, business consultancy project, global supply chains, strategic management and leadership, marketing and sales in the future economy and work-based project.

Following the completion of the first year of study, students on the programme will embark on a mandatory one-year industry placement with any organisation of their choice. The placement year is designed to provide learners with the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in their first year of study in a practical context. Students are thus able to establish the link between academic theories and professional practice and in the process sharpen their skills. You can find out more about placements here.

The MBA Global with placement programme responds to the needs and expectations of employers by equipping students with the necessary hard and soft skills required to not only compete in the world of work but also to thrive and take up higher management positions as global business leaders.

How you will learn

Teaching

Learning takes place through a combination of timetabled learning in lectures and seminars and independent learning. Seminars and workshops enable them to discuss and develop their understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups. Students will also be able to meet their personal tutor/mentor.

Class sizes

Lectures are normally attended by larger groups, and seminars/tutorials by smaller groups. All students will have opportunities for one-to-one time with their mentors/personal tutor.

Independent learning

We encourage students to learn independently with support from their lecturers and mentors to achieve goals and broaden knowledge through online learning and independent reading. Timetabled learning includes some time for to learners engage in independent learning on campus and to prepare their assessments in class.

You can also join a range of student societies, including the Economics and Business Society.

Overall workload

Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures, seminars, etc), independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.

Assessment

Learners will benefit from formative and summative assessments that are authentically created to personalise their learning experience. The assessments are fundamentally work-based and uniquely individualized, which enables learners to demonstrate their ability to incorporate in-class insights to their work life.

Learners will have the opportunity to engage with various assessments including essays, business reports, vlogs, key account plans, tender submissions, pitch documents, group presentations, individual presentation and business wargame reflections, which can be collated in learning diaries.

Preparation for summative assessments is spread through the term and supplemented by a range of shorter-term preparatory exercises. These formative exercises do not contribute to the final assessment but are marked and used to provide detailed feedback and assist learners in preparing their summative assessments.

Feedback summary

University policy is to give feedback on assignments within 15 days.

Examination results will be available within 15 days.
