Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Edexcel Pathway (EDSML + MBA)
The Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree is internationally recognised
and is seen as a passport to a successful management career. The MBA is essentially a generalist qualification
designed to widen the horizons of business professionals. It takes into account all the major functions and
practises of a business.
Scope & Objective
Choosing to do an MBA involves a significant investment of time and money. It’s therefore
logical that people want to know the benefits of an MBA in terms of potential earnings in order to assess
return on this investment. The increase in salary that comes about from graduating from an accredited MBA
programme is an important factor for many people.
An MBA can enable a modern manager to identify a range of personal, business
and employment opportunities. Studying for an MBA provides students with an exceptional platform for
networking – and not only with fellow students. Internships and employment placements, working with
leading international faculty, and connecting with top business schools' extensive alumni networks
are all benefits of studying on an accredited MBA programme.
Course Structure & Credit Transfers
Every Univeristy program expresses the structure of most of its taught programmes in terms of credits.
Each programme unit has a tariff of credit points to indicate the volume of learning; credit points represents
the hours of student effort spent on learning activities, including all forms of study, preparation of assignments,
revision and assessment. MBAs in UK Universities are normally structured with 180 credits. Credits are awarded to
students who successfully complete a programme unit, by attending as required and satisfying the criteria for assessment.
Credit Transfers help to demonstrate what a student has already studied successfully, and thus facilitates
decisions about the movement of students between programmes and from one institution to another.
