Most full-time MBA programmes in the UK run for one year. You'll study the core curriculum subjects of finance, marketing, human resources, economics, accounting, management information systems, operations and quantitative methods, as well as optional subjects (electives) depending on your interests. You can choose to do a part-time programme - most of these last two or three years. Entry requirements vary from institution to institution, but you will usually need a first degree, as well as business and management experience, so MBA students tend to be at least 25 and may be in their 40s, with considerable experience of senior management. Many institutions also require students to take the GMAT.
Key facts
Approximately 80 percent of MBA students on full-time programmes in the UK are international students. According to a study by A T Kearney, the global executive search firm, an estimated 60 per cent of MBA jobs are filled through personal contacts and networking, so attend as many events as possible during your course. MBA fairs are held in the UK and worldwide each year, providing an opportunity to discuss plans and meet representatives from leading business schools. The Association of MBAs advises students to consider studying for their MBA in a country other than their own to gain international exposure.
