Leicester Business School, De Montfort University, has a long, successful and distinguished record in the delivery of its MBA. The MBA was first offered on a part-time basis in 1983 and shortly after its launch, the course gained accreditation from the Association of Masters of Business Administration (AMBA).

Newly formatted in 2003, the Leicester Business School MBA is a leading career development programme for practising managers. The overall aim of the programme is to balance theoretical analysis with practical application, hence developing a critical and questioning approach to the conceptual underpinnings of management. The Leicester Business School MBA will allow participants to acquire a 'real world' Masters degree, globally recognised and quality kite marked by its AMBA accreditation.

The programme structure brings to the fore current thinking in management education, to enable participants to acquire core competencies across a wide range of academic disciplines and skills bases. This will allow participants to both add value and demonstrate a working knowledge of strategic management skills, in a wide range of global organisations.

The Leicester Business School MBA is further enhanced by the international student cohort, contributing a wealth of world-wide business experience and cultural diversity.

The course commences with an induction programme covering the fundamentals of management education. This levelling programme will allow students from business and non-business backgrounds to attain equivalence in their knowledge base before embarking on the MBA programme. The MBA will lead with core modules that broaden and critically examine key business and management fundamentals. To enhance the integration of these core modules, Strategy in a Complex Environment will form a "linchpin" module, pulling together the strategic management skills within the core modules, equipping participants with the ability to think conceptually and holistically.

Students will also undertake several optional modules, allowing for focus in a particular field such as finance or marketing, or a more general management focus.

The MBA students are based in the Leicester Business School Graduate Centre, a modern and professional environment dedicated to postgraduate study and research in business-related subjects. This is located on the Leicester City Campus, just 10 minutes walk from much of the university accommodation and the city centre.

The Leicester Business School MBA is competitively priced, and fees include one years membership of AMBA.
