Course Description
A Master of Business Administration (MBA) qualification is internationally recognised as an elite business management qualification, often seen as a passport to a successful senior management career. The General MBA from the University of Bedfordshire provides students with knowledge of how people and processes operate within an organisation and the wider environment affecting those organisations. As the world moves towards a more corporate and service-oriented economy, earning an MBA has become an effective way of not only ensuring your employment, but also ensuring your success and marketability in an ever-evolving job market.
An MBA enhances graduates skills by developing their ability to work as an effective team member in strategic-level decision making processes and to lead others. As alternatives to the University of Bedfordshire’s General MBA, students may also choose to enrol in the MBA (Finance) and MBA (Hospital and health Services) programmes offered by the University of Bedfordshire.
Further details of the University of Bedfordshire MBA courses offered at MAPS College are provided in the MBA Course Factsheet.
