The MBA
programme is of interest to practising managers who are seeking to
develop their management skills and enhance their career prospects. The
aim of the MBA programme is to educate individuals as managers and
business specialists, and thus to improve the quality of management as a
profession. Masters programmes add value to first degrees and managerial
experience by developing in individuals an integrated and critically
aware understanding of management and organisations. This should enable
those graduating with MBAs to take effective roles within the business
and management environment.
