Strathclyde MBA The MBA at the University of Strathclyde takes experienced executives from a variety of backgrounds, and equips them with the know-how, skills and strategic orientation to sustain and scale business in today’s global businesses. The university’s website highlights the MBA’s personal and career benefits: “The Strathclyde MBA is not just a business programme, it’s a stimulating, challenging, life-changing experience, which will make you question, rethink and re-evaluate how you do business.”
In 2016, Strathclyde Business School celebrated 50 years of its MBA programme and can boast more than 9000 graduates. Its focus is on the entrepreneurial manager, one who chooses to study for career enhancement. The student experiences career and self- development while employers – who might support their managers on the MBA programme – can expect improved corporate performance and human resource development. The MBA is offered on a part-time basis in Bahrain, Greece, Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, Switzerland and the UAE. Professor David Hillier, Associate Principal & Executive Dean of Strathclyde Business School said the university’s flagship MBA programme is designed with industry in mind. “Our MBA provides a broad understanding of business and management issues, essential for a strategic business role, or – as many of
our students have found – its all-round business knowledge has helped them set up their own businesses.” He said Strathclyde’s MBA is
continually reviewed to ensure the latest business thinking is incorporated, with a range of electives on offer to cover everything from digital marketing to strategy, “Our existing programmes are kept
up to date and we involve industry where we can to ensure our students’ learning is practical and ‘useful’ whether this is through guest speakers, industry projects or internships.” The many benefits for those undertaking an MBA – upgraded knowledge, increased confidence and command of new aspects of business – is allied with the numerous rewards experienced by employers. “As well as benefiting from the
staff member bringing back new knowledge and skills to the workplace, by investing in a member of staff, you
by investing in a member of staff, you are telling them you care about their development.”
