Description

If you're looking for a successful career in management, want to develop your strategic knowledge and want formal recognition, the University of Derby MBA with CMI Chartered Manager status is for you. This MBA has been designed in consultation with regional and national employers, so it gives you the additional skills, knowledge and understanding to work effectively as a manager in the current and future business environment. It underpins your professional knowledge of business and management so far.

The University of Derby MBA is one of the few in the UK that has been designed in consultation with, and accredited by, the CMI (Chartered Management Institute). This means that on completion you will be awarded the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management, and, as long as you complete the Business Impact Report module, you can apply for the CMI Chartered Manager status. Chartered Manager is the highest status that can be achieved in the managerial profession.

The MBA course follows a progressive and structured framework that enables you to enhance and apply skills of critical and ethical evaluation and synthesis, strategy development and its implementation, enquiry based learning and independent judgment. You will develop a thorough understanding of the challenges of management and their implementation across core business areas. The emphasis is on integration of theory and practice, with core modules covering managing people, strategies, finance, marketing and operations.

You will understand how to improve business and management practice, both systematically and creatively, and will challenge pre-conceptions of both business and management. You will learn how to evaluate the need for change, and at the same time gain the skills to manage and lead these changes.

We will support you in the transition to master's level study so you will be able to become a vital part of any organisation, leading the business function within complex and unpredictable contexts. You will also benefit from the School's Academic Development Scheme, which will help you complete successfully this demanding programme and from guest speakers from industry and professional bodies, so you will be learning the latest industry issues and be able to apply theories and scenarios to real life.
