University of Derby

Summary

Our MBA Global develops both subject knowledge and an impressive portfolio of transferable skills. You’ll benefit from regular career planning sessions which will help you identify the sectors and job roles that appeal to you, and help you understand how to put your new skills to use within industry. The programme is cleverly structured so that you can move beyond a domestic business mindset, to consider issues and seek solutions in a truly global context. Each module focuses on key aspects of international business.  

The specifics

We offer two pathways – the MBA Global and the MBA Global Finance. You can choose the one that best matches your existing experience, current role or future plans. Both give you a thorough grounding in strategic leadership, financial performance management, global operations, markets and resources, business research methods and data analysis.

The MBA Global pathway then focuses on key themes such as risk management and global supply chain management. Meanwhile, the MBA Global Finance explores international finance, and mergers and acquisitions in greater detail.

Programme highlights

Our MBA Global has practical experience and work-based learning at its heart. That’s because we believe that the best learning comes by doing – applying the theory, reflecting on your successes and failures, and then adjusting your approach based on that experience.
