Master of Business Administration (MBA)
An affordable MBA delivered by world-class faculty in the heart of London.
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is the premier business qualification offered by the College of Technology in partnership with the University of Wales Lampeter (UWL).
For aspiring senior managers, future CEOs and entrepreneurs an MBA is often considered the essential business qualification, and the College of Technology London is one of the few UK private institutions to offer a full MBA programme in partnership with a UK university.
The UWL MBA is designed to develop broad managerial competence to enable graduates to cope with a wide variety of business situations appropriate to their diverse national backgrounds. Thus there is an international orientation.
In order to fulfill the overall objective, emphasis is placed throughout the program on the development of the individual by focussing on basic disciplines and skills as well as specific subject areas.
The MBA is available for direct entry for students who have an undergraduate business degree taught in English, and preferably two years work experience in a management or supervisory role. Students enrolling from a non-business discipline, or from a non-UK background are recommended to take the 1 term Masters Entry Programme (MEP).
