Develop and master core competencies in support of your management and leadership ambitions. The Staffordshire University MBA is designed to accelerate your professional and personal development and to contribute to the journey of being the best you can be.From strategy and risk towards value creation and sustainable businesses, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship, this course will help develop specific core competencies required to succeed. To reach your potential, we know you need to understand more than theory alone. That’s why we’ll challenge you to think on your feet, consider the challenges of different organisational contexts, and be ready to act as consultants to real-life start-up businesses. You’ll be taught by a team of senior academics and professional practitioners with years of experience. They’ll share insights into the industry to help you develop a problem and practice-based approach.The principal approach to learning is centred on Problem and Practice Based Learning (PPBL). All the students will engage in 'learning to learn' and become increasingly reflective learners through adoption of the PPBL philosophy and hence development of key management & leadership competencies.For this course, you’ll complete four core modules (six core if you have selected a pathway) that builds your leadership profile, boosts your knowledge of risk management and entrepreneurial techniques, and develops your understanding of global strategies.You’ll also complete two optional modules that are relevant to your career goals. For example, you might work with a local enterprise to create a business plan to build your leadership skills and test your entrepreneurship qualities. Or you might practice your management skills in a financial management situation. We’ll also put your ability to cope under pressure to the test in a final project. You’ll pick a subject that demonstrates your skills and prepare a 15,000 word dissertation on the topic. This piece of work can be further developed into a doctorate if you want to take it further and we offer the DBA route as well as the PhD
