MBA (Professional Practice) Full-time
University of SunderlandOn campus, United Kingdom
Course overview
The MBA (Professional Practice) is a two-year course that includes a 12-month work placement. Securing a placement is competitive, but we’ll support you every step of the way, from writing applications to preparing for interviews and connecting with employers. If you don’t secure a placement, you won’t miss out.
We’ll transfer you to the standard MBA route and include an additional postgraduate certificate in either Human Resource Management or Digital Marketing and Analytics, at no extra cost. You’ll still complete everything within the two-year time frame. Please note, the extra certificate is studied alongside the MBA, but its modules won’t count towards your final MBA grade.
Both the MBA and the certificate must be completed within the original two-year time frame. Each year, students apply for placements in areas such as marketing, human resources, finance, operations, and supply chain management. Our dedicated placements team has strong connections with both national and local em
