Structure & Content

All our MBA programs consist of a set of core subjects, a menu of optional courses, and an individual or group management project. The core subjects ensure that all students study essential areas of management. The optional subjects and the project allow you to build on these core areas and tailor-make your own version of the Nottingham MBA. A fundamental part of your development is participation in group work. Working with talented peers from many different professional and cultural backgrounds, and close interaction with the academic staff, accelerates learning and management development far more than is possible on purely distance learning programs. Because we appreciate that your MBA has to be carefully planned to fit in with your work and other commitments, our Executive and part-time MBAs are very flexible, allowing you to accommodate the program into your lifestyle. You can vary the number of modules you take each year according to your work or other commitments. Participants study in a series of self-contained, one-week intensive modules and you can take between two and four years to complete your MBA. Nottingham’s ideal location and excellent transportation links allow managers located anywhere in the UK or overseas to participate in the programme.
