MBA Business Administration

The Brunel MBA recruits managers and other professionals of high calibre, who can both benefit from and contribute to, an intellectually challenging management development programme.

Please note that the Admissions process for the MBA programme involves assessment in two stages:

Stage 1 - As part of the application process please provide documentary evidence to show:

• A 2:1 (or above) UK Honours degree, or international equivalent.
• A minimum of three years' full time work experience at managerial or professional level in managing people, budget or other resources following a degree. It is important for candidates to clarify that they have significant/focused sector experience with responsibility for people, budget, or other resources, which is supportable by official documentary evidence. Please supply a CV/resume as part of your application.
• Copies of your English language qualification. (If you intend to take an English language test e.g. IELTS, or a pre-sessional English course please indicate this on your application.)

 Stage 2 - An interview will be conducted (via Skype or phone) with the MBA Programme Team. 

• If an applicant has achieved a 2:2 degree and seven or more years of required senior managerial or professional level work experience, in managing people, budget, or other resources - this will be reviewed by the MBA Director on a case-by-case basis.
• We welcome applicants from different industries, from both the private and public sector. Previous applicants from IT, healthcare, education, engineering, aviation and many more have been considered.
• Please note - meeting the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee an interview, or a place on the programme.

As part of the MBA, students receive advice on all aspects of career planning, including a reassessment of their true strengths and weaknesses. This aspect of the MBA programme is invaluable to students who, having worked in managerial roles for a number of years, may now wish to evaluate their experience to date so that they can progress further, now and in the future.

As well as regular visits to companies for MBA students, many representatives from these companies also visit campus as part of the MBA guest speaker series, Let’s Talk Business. Companies like Barclays, IBM, Microsoft UK and Goldman Sachs have an ongoing relationship with the Brunel MBA, giving students the chance to network and work with them during campus visits.
