MBA (Professional Practice) Full-time

The MBA (Professional Practice) is a two-year course that includes a 12-month work placement.

If you don’t secure a placement, you won’t miss out.

Each year, students apply for placements in areas such as marketing, human resources, finance, operations, and supply chain management. Our dedicated placements team has strong connections with both national and local em
