Master of Business Administration (MBA)

The Cardiff MBA program is delivered in immersive blocks that are specifically designed to stimulate the curiosity of the students, inform their process of inquiry, and strengthen the application of their learning. Each block of learning consists of a diverse range of activities, such as company visits, industry speakers, time-limited challenges, role-play, and simulations.

The students benefit from small group work and block teaching, which allows them to master specific interdisciplinary approaches before having the opportunity to develop a specialization through the accelerator project. The program concludes with a capstone module that brings together the various areas of expertise acquired throughout the MBA experience.

The diversity of the student cohort and academic staff is considered a valuable asset. Students have the chance to collaborate with their peers, academics, and practitioners in order to challenge their existing knowledge structures, assumptions, values, and skills. This collaborative environment encourages students to reconsider their current understanding and explore issues from different perspectives.

The MBA program is designed to address real-world challenges, and this is reflected in the assessment of the students' work. Similar to the workplace, students are required to complete assessment tasks individually and as part of a team, covering areas such as strategy, personnel, consultancy, innovation, and crisis.

This program structure provides students with the opportunity to customize their MBA experience through six challenge-focused modules, offering flexibility to align with their career aspirations.
