MBA - Masters of Business Administration (London)

How you will learn

Teaching and learning methods can include: lectures, seminars, case studies, discussion, debate, small group work activities, presentations, workshops, report writing, poster presentations, essays, portfolios, problem-based learning, simulations, discussion groups, and blended learning using the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as a platform for communication, discussion, debate and collaborative working.

Throughout the programme, tutors try, where possible, to use the experiences of the students to illustrate concepts and generate reflection, as this provides an opportunity to further the learning through a reflection based on real cases experienced by the students themselves. This approach is also supplemented by more traditional cases studies, shared with MSc students.

How you will be assessed

Learning, teaching and assessment across the programme seek to incorporate the acquisition of knowledge, understanding and skills which are expected to develop employment opportunities and provide new openings for students who have a wish to enhance their management potential and build on their existing business and management experience.

Some examples of assessment methods include case studies, reflective reports, an academic essay, an eportfolio, presentations, poster and oral presentation, written report, online assessment, research proposal, dissertation or independent project.

Additional Costs

There will be some additional costs. For example all students will need to purchase stationery and may wish to purchase some text books. Extra costs may also be applicable to cover field trips, membership fees etc. although such features are usually options within the course.

Books are reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change, course welcome information will provide you with an indicative list for the year.

Books and Journals

Most core text books are available via the University's library, however students may wish to buy copies of any texts used to support your learning on your course. This could cost between £50 - £100 per year.

Stationery

Students should budget for stationery and consumables for your own personal use. This should include notebooks, pens and pencils for taking notes in class and/or in the field. Students should also budget for the purchase of USB pen drives, as well as occasional printing and photocopying costs incurred in the preparation or submission of coursework. Whilst you will choose how much you need, expect to pay around £30 - £40 per year for these items.
