MBA

Managers need to be multi-taskers. They need to understand how to motivate staff and how to get the best performance from people; how to market their products or services and meet the demands of their consumers; how to implement processes and systems; and how to manage budgets and understand the impact that financial performance has on strategic decision-making.

Aims and objectives

The MBA programme has been designed to cover the spectrum of management subjects, calling on a wide range of expertise. It allows you to concentrate on general management or to tailor the course to suit your individual needs.
The Leicester MBA provides the necessary skills to become a competent and capable manager in today's global business environment. The course will enhance your ability to evaluate and analyse evidence and implement appropriate solutions in any business environment.
You will develop the skills to think creatively and strategically about a wide range of business issues, alongside an awareness of cultural sensitivity and the ability to work in a cross-cultural, multi-national, team-based environment.
