Course summary

Overview

The MBA is based at our Paisley campus, situated in a historical Scottish town with a rich culture and architectural heritage. The campus is with travelling distance of Glasgow and has good transport links for students.

Our MBA emphasises its pedagogical approach to vicarious learning where you will identify contemporary business practices and relate these back to theories and concepts.

Key to this is peer-to-peer learning and the sharing of professional and business experience and reasoning and reflection. In doing so, we believe that this provides an integrated approach to understanding the role of the business functions and the challenges faced by the discontinuous business landscape. The use of practical examples and cases studies enables the UWS MBA graduates to develop the skills and competences needed to be successful managers.

WHY STUDY AN MBA?

The MBA will develop your personal capabilities, skills and knowledge to prepare you for a career in management. You’ll study the workings of organisations, the global environment, strategy, enterprise, current management trends and challenges, learning to apply strategic thinking to real-world scenarios. An MBA equips graduates with a 360-degree view of their chosen industry/sector. This level of insight is highly valuable to firms looking to recruit leaders and managers with a deep understanding of business.
