MBA Master of Business Administration

The MBA programme at Coventry University is a one-year course designed to help you build strategic thinking, leadership, and business management skills. It's ideal for those who are looking to become managers or who are already in management roles. A major focus of the programme is on making ethical decisions and being successful in international business.

The course is organised into three main parts: first, you'll gain a solid understanding of different business environments; second, you'll prepare for the challenges that businesses will face in the future; and third, you'll learn how to apply management principles in practical situations. You'll also have the opportunity to focus on particular industries that interest you.

Learning is very practical and involves seminars where you can discuss ideas, interactive workshops, and business simulations. Your progress will be assessed through reports you write, presentations you give, coursework you complete, and group projects, rather than traditional exams.

Coventry University is a university in the UK that focuses on preparing students for their careers and has strong connections with businesses and organisations around the world.

Additionally, the university's MBA programme has been recognised by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). This means that when you graduate with your MBA, you will also receive a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice from the CMI, in addition to your university degree.

Applications from individuals with relevant professional experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

In addition to this, applicants are expected to have a minimum of two years of full-time work experience after their degree in a management, administrative, or professional role.
