About Strathclyde Business School
The Strathclyde MBA is not just a business programme, it's a stimulating, challenging, life-changing experience, which will make you question, re-think and re-evaluate how you do business. The programme is highly experiential and based on collaborative learning. Students share their varied work experiences, knowledge, understanding and skills.
The MBA will shape and guide you as a reflective, open- thinking, adaptive learner. This is facilitated through enhanced understanding of the interplay of theory and practice in management. In particular it:
- provides the skills required for progression to higher level policy-forming positions
- allows you to make successful career transitions
- facilitates the move from technical specialism to general management
- polishes the skills and enhances the abilities of people working for themselves or about to set up in business.
The Strathclyde MBA is a very flexible programme. We offer a variety of study routes, allowing you to choose a programme which suits both your work and/or personal circumstances.
- Full-time (12 months) MBA in Glasgow
- Part-time (24 months) Executive MBA in Glasgow
- Part-time (24 months) Executive MBA in our international centres ( Malaysia, Bahrain, UAE, Oman)
Studying an MBA degree at the University of Strathclyde you'll be learning at a leading international technological university. The University won Times Higher Education University of the Year in 2019 - the only institution to win the accolade twice. Strathclyde Business School has held triple accreditation from the three main business school accreditation bodies – AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB – since 2004. We were the first business school in Scotland to achieve triple accreditation.
With over 50 years’ experience in developing the best MBA programme, Strathclyde Business School is a major innovator in the field of business and management. We were the first UK business school to offer a full-time 1-year MBA programme (1966), part-time MBA programme (1976), distance learning programme (1983), and DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) programme (1988).
This pioneering spirit brought the Strathclyde MBA into many new countries via the establishment of international centres. These centres meant, for the first time, local managers could study for a UK MBA in their own country.
