All graduates receive the same certification: a top quality UK MBA with international standing. Self-improvement without sacrificing your career or family is the unique advantage offered by this Programme.
The Strathclyde MBA covers all the basic business courses, with particular strengths in the following areas:
Global Orientation: 'International Business Environment' is a core module which deals with the social, political, ecological, economic and ethical problems associated with international business. All case studies are in the context of international business environment and are orientated towards the requirement of the business in the 21st century.
Strategic Orientation: 40% of the course content is devoted to a practical and applicable understanding of 'Strategy' and emphasis is put on the analysis and process of strategy development (while most business schools do not teach the process side)
