The University of South Wales's MBA Global program is a two-year MBA that offers you the opportunity to gain up to eight months of work experience with companies in the UK and overseas.
The MBA Global offers specialist pathways in Finance, HRM, Supply Chain Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship. It builds on a strong ethos of helping managers and leaders solve complex business problems while developing professionals who will make a strategic difference within the context of their organizations.
It will develop your leadership and strategic thinking skills, including the ability to build successful teams and navigate growth within an uncertain, resource-constrained, and competitive business environment. You will learn how to prepare, plan, and react efficiently to a rapidly changing business world.
During the course, you will enjoy an extracurricular program – Global Choices - that includes masterclasses with leading figures from the spheres of business and government. In recent years, our guests have included Lord Jonathan Evans, former Head of MI5; Lord George Robertson, former NATO Secretary General; Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister of Australia, and Sir Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister. You will also be able to learn from the experience of entrepreneurs and business leaders in Wales, forging links we hope you will take into your future careers as MBA Global alumni.
In addition to your MBA qualification, you'll also have the option to opt into the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. This is built into the curriculum, so no additional assessment is needed, you need to complete registration in the required time and successfully pass the required assessments above 40%.
You will also be offered workshops and simulations on core skills and competencies designed to support the development of your high-level awareness of the challenges facing not only businesses but also societies across the world.
The University is host to a vibrant, multicultural environment that provides excellent opportunities for you to gain global perspectives on business and management. As a USW MBA Global graduate, you will become part of a global alumni network.
