Overview

University of Strathclyde Business School, Glasgow

Strathclyde Business School is internationally respected as one of the most innovative business schools in Europe with one of the largest academic faculties. Strathclyde is accredited by the international accrediting bodies, AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB, and is one of only 40 in the world to have such a distinction. In fact, less than 1% of business schools in the world hold triple accreditation status. In Scotland, no other business school is accredited so highly.

Strathclyde also performs consistently well in the UK government research and teaching assessments. Most recently Strathclyde Business School was ranked 30th in the world, 13th in Europe, 7th in the UK and first in Scotland by the Financial Times Annual Global MBA survey.

The MBA programme
The Strathclyde MBA has been developed and fine-tuned since 1966 and can be studied in the UK or via International Centres in Switzerland, Greece, The Middle East, or S.E. Asia. Participants have the flexibility to switch between different modes of study, depending on their locations and lifestyles.

Designed for ambitious, talented and well-qualified individuals with solid business experience the programme is based on collaborative learning where work experience, knowledge, understanding and applicable skills are shared, worked with and reflected on.

This integrated programme comprises compulsory modules supported by a selection of optional in-depth functions - allowing students to tailor their MBA to suit their career aspirations. Students spend time working on and building a corporate strategy. Strategic analysis and strategic thinking are central to the programme and run throughout the modules.

The programme seeks to help students develop ways of grappling with opportunities and problems in the practice of management by developing as reflective, open-thinking, adaptive learners. The team-work approach fostered at Strathclyde is an important aspect of the course and ensures that the extensive range of people from different countries, backgrounds and cultures are brought together to learn from each other in a truly global networking experience.

Our full time MBA has a truly international flavour with at least 20 nationalities represented every year, while our part time programme is a Scottish networking experience, and flexible learning allows the individual to tailor both the pace and place of their study.

Academic strengths
The Business School’s 11 subject departments and specialist units collaborate to provide a dynamic, fully rounded and varied programme of specialist and cross-disciplinary postgraduate courses.

Strathclyde academic staff have a multidisciplinary outlook and build on the extensive expertise of academic staff from other business faculty departments. Our academics have particular expertise in the areas of strategic management, leadership and scenario planning. Staff also undertake a broad range of consultancy activities both in the UK and Internationally. The School place’s particular importance on strategic management at the level of developing strategy in any organisation, big or small, departmental, or divisional.
