Extended Masters in Business Administration (MBA) (October)

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MBA at the University of West London has been designed to support students’ career progression, preparing them to carry out managerial roles successfully and to build their own business. Students will study with a cohort of experienced professionals drawn from a range of industries, building their network and gaining insights into best practice.

Students will explore issues that have a significant impact within organisations by working with others and building on both personal individual experiences, as well as comparing and contrasting with their cohort members. They will carry out projects and assignments designed to help them critique and apply the theories, tools and techniques they learn.

Much of the learning is developed through the establishment of collaborative learning communities of programme participants and tutors, and students will become part of that community of learning. Their understanding is developed around the key skills, processes and practices of business, leadership and management.

Students can choose to study this course on a day-release basis to help them balance their studies with other commitments.
