Executive Master of Business Administration

Research shows that both students and employers want management education to be relevant to the work environment. Flexible delivery of learning is also a key desire of employers and of mature students who may be working full-time and balancing work life with home life and academic study. This programme offers students the opportunity to achieve this flexibility and delivers management education relevant to the workplace and with recognised qualifications.

The programme has a broad focus and will suit participants from all sizes of enterprise in both the public and private sector. Students build on their knowledge from the work environment and previous learning while developing a critical theoretical perspective which will inform their own developing management practice.

Study is modular with only the occasional requirement to meet with tutors face to face. The majority of study is undertaken under tutor guidance by students in their own time and location, facilitated via the university's on-line resources and virtual learning environment, supplemented by campus workshops.

The programme aims to develop individuals with the confidence and competence in the application and integration of business management knowledge within a strategic framework.
