Overview
Warwick Business School
WBS is an international and highly-rated school, one of the largest of its kind with over 300 staff supporting almost 6,500 students and participants.
WBS is especially noted for its quality, being one of only 3 UK schools to be rated both “excellent” for teaching and to have achieved the highest 5* rating for its research performance. In addition, Warwick was the first in the UK to achieve the triple accreditation from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
The Warwick MBA
The Warwick MBA programme enjoys global recognition for its leading edge thinking and world-leading resources. It offers one of the most flexible programmes in the UK today, with participants able to select from one of three different ways to learn – full-time, distance learning or executive (modular). They all share the same curriculum and participants are awarded the same qualification. All electives are open to students of any study mode, which extends the international networking opportunities. Finally, it gives participants flexibility to change their mode of study should their personal or professional circumstances change.
Full-time
The full-time study mode consists of a diverse and international community of around 30 nationalities each year. We place great importance on collaborative learning, teamwork, a friendly personal approach and offer great opportunities to form social and professional networking groups. Participants also take language classes, have the opportunity to go on exchange with our global partners or complete an internship and everybody benefits from the Practice of Management module which focuses on personal and professional development.
Executive
This is ideal for manager with busy professional and family lives who need a study programme that can be planned well in advance. Modules are delivered on a 5-day basis, usually Monday-Friday, and are repeated regularly, so that participants can plan their study around work and family commitments. The compact delivery format allows for concentration on a particular area of learning and a high quality peer group with a variety of management roles allows for both effective collaborative learning and valuable networking.
Distance Learning
This is one of the highest quality programmes of its kind in the world. Ranked #3 in the world by Which MBA(2008), the learning is interactive and challenging, with regular opportunities for face-to-face teaching and ongoing participation in local and virtual study groups. WBS has 20 years of experience offering this programme to students from over 100 countries. This history, combined with the high standard of study materials and the support available, makes it the best choice for anybody looking for a combination of quality and convenience.
Warwick Global Energy MBA
This new MBA, launched in 2009, is a part-time programme which combines the development of strategic leadership skills with a focus on the global energy industry.
Student profile
I turned down a scholarship offer from another school to come to WBS and I have not regretted my decision for one minute. I chose WBS for its renowned business faculty and the chance to learn with some of the leading academics in Europe. The teaching standards are among the best I’ve seen and the lecturers have real industry experience, making it much easier to connect academic theories with real life applications.
One module I really enjoyed was Practice of Management. It makes you aware of yourself as a person; it helped me take a greater look at myself, at things I took for granted. I’m now better able to harness my strengths, at the same time understanding my areas of weakness and how they can be improved. The Practice of Management project gave me the chance to apply what I learned in the classrooms to real life issues.
WBS has a very efficient careers team. By providing career coaching services and company recruitment presentations they’ve been great in preparing me for my ideal job. I feel very confident stepping into the world of business knowing I’m well equipped to face the challenges. The experience has been wonderful and definitely good value for my money. Every penny spent on the Warwick MBA has been worth it.
