Full-time MBA

Accreditations: AACSB, AMBA

Programme features

The AMBA accredited MBA programme is offered on a one-year full time basis. One of the key strengths of the Glasgow MBA is the community approach to study and personal development. We aim to deliver a highly interactive and participative experience.

A viable learning community is particularly important on the full time MBA, which brings together a truly international and rich mix of participants, involving students from between 12 and 18 different countries each year. Their backgrounds are wide ranging, from medicine and law to engineering, banking, education, and the public sector.

The Glasgow MBA is structured in a way that enhances the scope for personal and academic development, incorporating orientation and induction sessions ahead of the core modules, offering a rich choice of options, and finishing with the in-depth and applied analysis of a dissertation. Personal development sessions are provided throughout the programme to help students reflect upon their progress and enhance their potential.

The programme is made up of 6 elements:

Element 1: Induction
Element 2: Critical enquiry
Element 3: Strategy and organisational performance
Element 4: Strategic foresight
Element 5: Specialist electives
Element 6: Personal development, reflective practice and leadership

MBA Summer School in Europe (ESSAM)

Accreditations: EQUIS

Programme features

ESSAM is centred around three major components which combine to offer the participants the big picture; Europe and Management, the electives and the consulting projects. The teaching process is a mix of lectures, groups work, presentations, discussions and individual study.

Europe and Management, history and future challenges:

• The EU now has a total of 27 member states and negotiations with 3 formally acknowledged candidates. It is a great challenge for both the new members and the existing members to form the new Europe. - From a business perspective the enlargement opens many new possibilities, but it is a great task to develop them. It requires a lot of information and knowledge and the strategic options are many. 
• You get the latest updates from Brussels on the political issues as well as its implications for business and management. 
• In addition, you will also get hands-on experience by working on a relevant case-study delivered by a large European company. The participants will gain a very clear understanding of the European diversity and how to do business in Europe. 

Team-based consulting project:

• A central feature to ESSAM is the team-based consulting project which is completed during the Summer School. 
• Participants are assigned to a multi-cultural project group with the purpose of studying a strategic issue in a local company. Each group is expected to suggest strategies for further development of the company, present proposals and suggest an implementation of the strategies proposed in the form of a consultancy report. -Prizes are awarded for the best group projects. 

Electives:

• Electives offered at ESSAM are all taught by internationally renowned faculty. Participants choose one of eight electives. All electives require active participation, class discussion, case-study analysis and group work. Participants must prioritise their choice of elective on the online application form. Not all of the electives will run.
