MBA management project
All MBA students complete a management project, giving you the opportunity to put theory into practice.
You spend up to three months on a management project exploring current business issues and applying the theories and techniques learned during your MBA to resolve them.
You can choose from:
- a company-based management project. Apply for a project with a real business
- a desk-based project
- creation of a business plan
