The School s first MBA programme was launched on a full-time basis in 1975 and is one of the oldest MBA programmes in the UK. Currently, in addition to the Full-time programme, the School offers Executive, Distance Learning and Accelerated versions of the MBA programme. All versions share a common structure and content and differ only in the form of assessment and delivery mechanism used. The Bradford MBA consists of 3 distinct stages (see below for further details) representing 1800 hours of study, through which students accrue the 180 UK credits necessary for the award of a Master s degree. mba-ft-and-accelerated docx Page 1

2 Full-time As a full-time student on this version of the MBA programme you can expect to attend classes and study during the normal working week, although some shorter periods of evening and weekend working may be necessary depending on the option modules chosen. Currently, this programme has a September entry point. Accelerated As a student on the accelerated programme you will have similar backgrounds and managerial experience to those on the full-time programme but have the drive, energy and commitment to undertake an intensive period of full-time study. This programme has a single point of entry (January), which is delivered over a 10 month period using components of the full-time programme, thus you can expect to be engaged in weekly, evening, and block work. Delivery points The Bradford MBA programme is also offered in Italy (Perugia University), Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila and Dubai. Opportunities to take modules at these institutions are available and student exchanges between Bradford and its partner institutions are encouraged. Programme Aims The aim of the Bradford MBA is to develop management professionals equipped with the knowledge, skills and expertise to provide the strategic leadership necessary to effect the transformational change to create and maintain a sustainable business future for national and international organisations.

The ability to assess on-going professional and career development needs and to take action to maintain the knowledge and skills required to practice. Curriculum The MBA is delivered in three stages, the first of these stages covers the core modules which introduce students to the functional disciplines of management. Core modules provide the knowledge, skills and techniques that are fundamental to the area of management and provide the foundations for stage 2 of the programme. In stage two, students study a number of specialist modules that build on the core modules taught in the previous stage of the programme. The range and availability of modules in this stage varies each year according to demand and the availability of specialist staff. All programmes are subject to annual review, which determines which modules will be available. The degree of choice also depends on the programme. During this stage students also take modules in Strategic Management, which is an integrative module and Business Research, which provides students with the tools and techniques to undertake the management project. The third and final stage of the programme involves the completion of a management project. The management project requires students to apply their knowledge and expertise to real and challenging organisational issues. These may be suggested by the student, i.e. could be based on previous experience or anticipated future business engagement, or be a project proposed by a local enterprise/organisation. Sustainability and ethical management is a central tenet of the Bradford MBA. Consequentially, students can expect to be confronted by these issues throughout the programme. Foundation modules encourage students to reflect on how the mba-ft-and-accelerated docx Page 3

4 performance of core management activities such as operations, marketing and human resource management impact on the environment, society and the economy, e.g. through purchasing decisions, marketing strategies and recruitment policies, etc. In the second stage of the programme, modules designed to develop specialisms provide students with the opportunity to explore their emerging understanding in more detail, e.g. by studying material recovery mechanisms in supply chains and considering the role of consumer behaviour in sustainable business models.

These students also have the opportunity to attend sessions on study and presentation skills in order to assist with the preparation of their personal development portfolio. The curriculum may change, subject to the University's programme approval, monitoring and review procedures. Teaching and Assessment Strategies The Bradford MBA programme aims to integrate applied and theoretical knowledge with assessment processes that test knowledge, application and analysis of the disciplines. mba-ft-and-accelerated docx Page 5

6 Teaching on the programme comprises a combination of formal lectures, group discussions, tutorials, seminars, directed reading and personal research. Case study analysis and discussion is used widely to contextualise the learning and the application of techniques. Students are assigned to small study groups for this purpose, which encourage participative learning, provides experience of working with people from different cultures and helps develop leadership, organisational and project management skills. Each module represents approximately 100 hours' study time of which typically 30 hours is contact time with the programme tutor(s). One or more texts provide the basis for most modules but students are encouraged to develop their understanding by making use of the School s library and online facilities to undertake personal research. Additionally, a detailed manual is provided with each module which includes details of the preparatory work required. Additional support materials cases, video clips, audio recording, lecture notes/slides, etc. are also provided via the School s VLE. To effectively assess whether a student has achieved a module s learning outcomes a combination of assessment approaches are typically used on the Bradford MBA, e.g. group work and presentations may be used to assess a student s leadership and communication skills and ability to make a convincing business case; individual assignments and written reports may be used to assess a student s ability to conduct personal research, to make sense of and synthesise current research and advanced scholarship, to critically evaluate options and present solutions; case studies and business simulations may be used to assess a student s understanding of a body of knowledge, the ability to make business decisions with incomplete information and to work as an effective team member; whilst the project is used to assess a student s overall capacity to apply learning in realistic situations and develop original solutions to complex problems. Because, each module will support several learning outcomes, multiple methods of assessment may be applied in each module. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) The University of Bradford is committed to providing its students with opportunities to learn about sustainable development (SD). The School of Management sees sustainable development as a key business issue and recognises the need for all its graduates to be aware of sustainable development issues, and to understand the way in which their discipline and professional practice can impact on sustainability. The School is working to explicitly integrate ESD into its Learning Teaching and Assessment strategy; in the current EQUIS accreditation documentation the following is stated - as a School we are: committing ourselves to the principles of education for sustainable development within the curriculum, in line with the University's position as an 'Ecoversity' (p5) In the context of Ecoversity and the University s commitment to ESD, the School has reflected on the issues confronting management education and practice related to SD and has concluded that, where possible and appropriate, there is pedagogic value in incorporating ESD throughout the programme s modules. This approach supports the programme s emphasis on developing philosophical understanding, critical thinking and research as a method of problem solving. mba-ft-and-accelerated docx Page 6

7 The key issues that will be emphasized under ESD have been developed through a curriculum review process, referenced against the UNESCO framework for ESD. The key issues, drawn from the UNESCO framework for ESD, are: Respect for the dignity and human rights of all people throughout the world and a commitment to social and economic justice for all Respect for the human rights of future generations and a commitment to intergenerational responsibility Respect for cultural diversity and a commitment to build locally and globally a culture of tolerance, non-violence and peace Respect and care for the greater community of life in all its diversity which involves the protection and restoration of the Earth's ecosystems. These represent the foundations on which critical thinking is developed. Many of the programme s lecturers and supervisors are critical management theorists, whose goal is to root out the (often unthinking) oppression, indignities and injustices that feature in organisational life. For students working and managing organisations, how their activities contribute to SD is brought into focus by addressing these issues in their taught modules and in their personal research. Throughout, a critical approach to SD is adopted and students are encouraged to consider the nuances of the SD statements, the contradictory research evidence that surrounds the SD debates, and how theories and knowledge become legitimised. The University s policy on SD, the School of Management s policy, and the UNESCO statement are in the Programme Handbook. Assessment Regulations Whilst this Programme conforms to the general principles set out in the standard University Assessment Regulations for Postgraduate Programmes which are available at the link below, there is one exception to these regulations, which is detailed below. Waiver On completion of the taught element of the programme and at the Interim Exam Board, a student who has 50 credits or more requiring supplementary assessment will not be permitted to proceed to the dissertation stage of the programme. The decision to allow progression will only be reconsidered at the Supplementary Exam Board. Admission Requirements The University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme.
