The Portsmouth MBA

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a globally recognised programme that encapsulates the educational requirements of senior and executive level management. Whilst it includes typical business subjects such as finance, operations management and marketing, the core themes which run through the whole programme are strategy and leadership.

An MBA is a practical management guide as well as a passport to enhanced professional effectiveness. We offer one of the longest-running programmes in the UK and it is specifically designed to support your career by developing your strategic and decision-making capabilities and giving you the underpinning knowledge necessary for leadership roles.

The Portsmouth MBA is an intellectually stimulating, challenging and rewarding executive programme which can have a dramatic effect on your life. It is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and this provides an important external assurance of the quality, standards and reputation of the programme.

This is intended for course members employed in management positions who wish to study on a part-time basis. We have recently restructured our Executive MBA to better suit the needs of busy professionals in full-time employment.

Master of Business Administration - full time (one year)

This is intended for course members who take time out of their management careers to study on a full-time basis. The MBA is studied over a period of one year. It also includes a Development Centre activity, two residential elements and Master Classes.

Master of Business Administration (with Business Placement) - full time (up to two years)

The taught element in the first year is similar to the one year full time MBA. The difference being that students on this degree undertake a Professional Development unit designed partly to prepare individuals for a placement in a culture different from their own.

The opportunity of gaining a Scholarship is available to students joining the Master of Business Administration (one year), the Master of Business Administration (with Business Placement) and the Master of Business Administration (Executive).
