MBA courses
Accelerator MBA New for 2024 entry, our blended, part-time Accelerator MBA has been created for early and mid-career professionals who have high potential and want to develop their knowledge and skills to make the next leap in their career. The eight required modules have all been designed to support and expand knowledge in the key areas of management and leadership, and include Organisational Behaviour and Strategic Thinking, Financial Management and Marketing, and Operations Management. These modules will be taught 80% in-person at our base in The Shard and 20% online via my.wbs, with face-to-face learning taking place every six weeks, over three to four days (Wednesday or Thursday – Saturday). Online sessions will take place in the weeks before and after in-person learning, with any live sessions running in the evening (UK time). Each required module is delivered over a three- week period. Once participants have completed their required modules, they will join other MBA students to complete their elective modules, making new connections and widening their professional network. Electives are held at The Shard or via online learning, subject to availability, and include a diverse range of topics such as Entrepreneurial Finance, International Business, and Leading Organisations: Performance, Stakeholders and Governance. Participants may also have the option to choose electives held at our Warwick campus. We offer students the opportunity to specialise their MBA within social and environmental sustainability, entrepreneurship, or healthcare, by selecting certain electives and basing their dissertation within their chosen area.
