throughout the programme.
In the third part of the programme you choose how to apply your knowledge to real situations through the medium of integrated themes which are based around critical management disciplines such as leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship and globalisation.
If you are an international student whose first language is not English or you have not previously lived in the UK, you may be eligible to attend their two-week pre-MBA Programme.
