This one-year Executive MBA top-up course is recognised and respected for its innovative, practice-based teaching and integration with the modern business environment. You’ll build on your previous qualifications – such as a postgraduate diploma or Senior Leader Degree Apprenticeship – to gain an MBA and the skills you need to take your career to the next level. How you learn All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. Based in our Sheffield Business School, you’ll join a global community where business leaders, researchers and business students all come together to solve problems and make things better. You’ll be taught by industry experts, who bring their industry experience and insights from cutting-edge research into the classroom. They’ll lead you through a transformational experience – on a programme that’s designed and delivered to inspire you to realise your ambitions. You learn through:
  • Formal teaching
  • Applied problem-solving
  • Real and simulated case studies
  • Class discussions
  • Presentations
  • Guest speakers
  • Independent study
Course Topics Build on the knowledge you previously gained on your senior leader apprenticeship program by completing an applied business investigation module and researching a business issue. Typically, this is a challenge your current organisation faces, which you’ll tackle by pulling together the skills you’ve developed in marketing, strategy, leadership, people, finance, and operations. You’ll be able to apply these to your chosen business issue where suitable, over the course of the MBA Applied Business investigation module (60 credits). You could also develop specialist knowledge in areas such as sustainability, disruptive technology and equality, diversity and inclusion – depending on your selected issue. You’ll also have the opportunity to strengthen your business acumen and gain work-related experience by exploring other functions within your organisation. This will help you to gain the maximum benefit from the MBA, developing skills to enable you to achieve your leadership goals. Course Support Throughout your learning journey, you’ll experience a range of dedicated support, such as:
  • Access to our unique student support triangle to help with your personal, academic and career development.
  • Access to our Skills Centre with one-to-ones, webinars and online resources.
  • A network of entrepreneurs and business leaders in our award-winning enterprise hub.
  • Career support for up to five years after graduating.
