The
University of Leicester Management Centre has an excellent
international reputation for the development and teaching
of management courses which are intellectually stimulating
and highly relevant to your career needs. More than
3,000 candidates from over 80 countries have graduated
from the Leicester MBA and are now enjoying successful
careers.
The
Leicester MBA is cited in national and international
surveys and is one of a small number of UK courses to
have obtained accreditation for its full-time and distance
learning programmes by the Association of MBAs.
The
MBA programme has been designed to cover the spectrum
of management subjects, calling on the wide range of
expertise in the University. It allows candidates to
concentrate on general management or to tailor the course
to suit individual career needs by choosing one of the
specialist streams.
Each
subject is taught from basic foundations before moving
onto specialist areas in more detail and candidates
are not, therefore, required to have studied management
previously.
MBA

of Leicester Management Centre is one of the largest

The distance learning MBA is normally studied over a
24 month period but this may be extended to suit individual
needs for up to a maximum of five years. Module 1 is
studied in the first six months of the course and is
assessed by three assignments (i.e. one per unit) and
mini-case study examination. Modules 2-5 are allocated
three months study time each and require you to write
one assignment per module. A major case study examination
follows module 5.

There are four diets of examinations each year (January,
April, July and October). We have Examination Centres
in many countries around the world. You may sit in any
of these 'registered' centres without additional charges
to your course fees. Should you sit your examination
in a country where we do not have regular exam centre,
however, you will be liable to pay a nominal charge
of £150 per examination.
