Program description
The Southampton MBA – Full-time - 1 year programme at Southampton Management School
The full-time MBA at Southampton Management School goes beyond traditional business functions, like Finance, Marketing, Strategy and, instead, encourages students to integrate all the main functions into real business scenarios. The MBA will enable candidates to think about, and respond to, actual business challenges by taking different management perspectives.
Taught at the Executive Education Centre at Southampton Management School, the full-time MBA course meets the global standard of the Association of MBAs (AMBA), through a broad curriculum aimed at developing candidates' complete business skillset. Key management theories and concepts are taught by inspirational academic staff who also carry out cutting-edge research in their specialist areas. The integrative approach that stands at the core of this course enables students to apply the theories, knowledge and skills gained throughout the programme. More importantly, it gives students a wider management perspective that will prepare them better for leadership roles in the future.
To provide MBA students with the most relevant learning and to enable them to compete in a rapidly changing global environment, the MBA programme also includes a residential week in The Netherlands. Students have the chance to visit a range of different companies and learn about their experiences of trading in a globalised environment. These visits will be complemented by lectures from leading European practitioners and academics, and talks by the European Commission in Brussels.
