Full-time MBA

An intensive programme offers the fastest way of gaining the qualification. You can then continue your career, armed with an MBA after just one year.

The Full-time MBA is studied over 12 months, commencing in late September with an induction designed to accelerate the process of assimilating you into the programme. Alternatively, why not consider our flexible study combinations - Full-time/Executive or Full-time/Global.

Studying full-time may provide you with the time to rethink your career, or to develop the necessary skills to progress. You may have the responsibility of taking over a family business, or perhaps you have an idea for a new business and wish to refine your thinking. Whatever your motivation, completing your MBA with us will increase your knowledge, skills and choices.

As a full-time student you can extend your choice of electives, and consider a group consultancy project. To enhance your development, you can receive executive coaching which will help you find and adapt to your next career move.

"The collaborative teaching environment and the approachability of lecturers allows students to question, learn and perform."

Teaching and learning

The teaching team uses a range of learning strategies, including case studies, interactive seminars, presentations, guest speakers and purpose-written learning materials. The diversity of the students' backgrounds provides a dynamic environment for all the participants to share experiences. On campus you can network with many other students and alumni.

You can participate in international events, including an overseas workshop, which exposes you to a range of challenges facing businesses in different markets. The cost of the overseas workshop is included in your tuition fees. In addition, you can take an elective at one of our partner business schools as an intensive one-week block in another country.

Student profile

"Before joining the MBA programme at Oxford Brookes University, I worked as an international projects manager for a leading Lithuanian IT company and studied international business at Vilnius University. I decided to pursue an MBA degree in order to make good use of the career opportunities that opened up for me as Lithuania joined the European Union.

I wanted to join the British consultancy market, the hub of European management consulting, and for that I needed a good postgraduate business education that would support my career aspirations.

I chose the MBA programme at Oxford Brookes University because it offered a deep insight into all basic business disciplines and linked all of them to business and corporate strategy. The programme has taught me the skills necessary to analyse enterprise structure, understand business processes, manage people, research the business environment and govern the strategy. It was delivered by highly professional, experienced and helpful tutors.

I am now working as a management consultant in London with Capgemini and am really enjoying it. I chose the MBA programme at Oxford Brookes University Business School to get real measurable results. And I have achieved them!"

There is also the opportunity to develop an area of interest through the study of electives. Find out more.
