THE PROGRAMME

Whether you’re looking to move up in your current company, expand your career opportunities, or just find a clearer direction in life, the Wrexham Glyndwr University MBA will help you achieve your goals as easily as possible.

The strength of the MBA programme relies on a hybrid faculty of accomplished industry professionals who bring industry to the classroom, astute academicians who take the classroom to industry and attended by high calibre individuals who merge the real world of business and the classroom.

The programme is appropriate for anyone seeking to increase their subject knowledge, build a portfolio of management skills and enhance their future career prospects in a competitive and increasingly global environment. Throughout the programme of study, the emphasis is founded on the application of theoretical knowledge to business scenarios and problems where an operational solution is sought.

There is a mix of traditional ‘hard core’ academic business master’s modules consisting of Strategy, Finance, Marketing and HRM, which continue to be the foundation for this type of programme. The outcome is a rounded business outlook with insights into corporate governance, environmental concerns, transnational perspectives within a framework of effective and critical reflective practice.

The programme has been designed to draw upon the Institute of Directors Competency Framework which incorporates distinctive areas of knowledge, skills and mind-set traits which contribute to effective performance at a senior level within an organisation.
