Description

COURSE DETAILS

All our MBA programmes are made up of three stages

  • Core modules – designed to help you get back in to learning and provide fundamental knowledge of management principles and theory
  • Elective modules – provide an in-depth understanding of specialist topics that are essential and relevant to the contemporary commercial world. Students choose those that are of most interest or greatest career benefit 
  • Management project – enables you to put the knowledge and skills gained throughout the programme to practical use on a relevant management issue 

Distance learning students are not required to attend any sessions at Bradford University School of Management. However students can chose to study up to three modules (each running over 3-5 days) at the School of Management or at any one of our partner institutions in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Singapore, Manila and Dubai for no extra cost (other than travel and subsistence costs).


CORE MODULES

You will study 10 core modules covering key business and managerial disciplines
  • Online Induction Programme (Completion of the online induction programme is vital as during the induction you will be provided with key information on issues such as MBA rules and regulations, student support services and the online learning resources)
  • Business Accounting
  • Business Economics 
  • Marketing
  • Operations Management
  • Managing People
  • Managerial and Professional Development
  • Business Research 
  • Business Ethics and Sustainability
  • Corporate Finance
  • Strategic Management 


ELECTIVE MODULES

Once you  have gained the required managerial skills and knowledge from the core modules, you will then be required to complete 4 elective modules. There are normally 9-10 elective modules to choose from for those studying purely by distance learning

  • Marketing Communications 
  • Entrepreneurship 
  • Project Management 
  • E-business
  • International Business Strategy 
  • International Business in Emerging Economies
  • International Financial Management 
  • Management of Change
  • Managerial Leadership
  • Corporate Marketing

Students who choose to take an elective module(s) in Bradford or at one of our partner institutions will have a wider range of choices, including modules such as Mergers and Acquisitions, Management Consulting and Global Supply Chain Management. Up to 3 modules may be taken in this way at no extra cost.


MANAGEMENT PROJECT

The management project is an integral part of the Bradford MBA and is often the most challenging and rewarding part of the programme. At the end of the taught programme you put into practice what you have learnt by investigating and reporting on an important management issue or opportunity. If you are sponsored by your employer, the project can relate to your workplace. Otherwise, you may choose to use the project to deepen your knowledge of a different sector or organisation, or as a stepping stone to your next job. The project findings and recommendations are then written up in a 15,000-word dissertation.

Throughout the project you will be guided by an experienced academic and you will have access to the School of Management Effective Learning department. The Effective Learning service often proves to be very useful providing students with a clear understanding and guidelines on what is required in order to successfully complete their project.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
