The full-time MBA

Study for your Durham MBA full-time and acquire both the analytical and the soft skills to develop your career and become a leader in your field. We believe effective business is about far more than academic theories, so we encourage innovation, decision making and creative thinking. Alongside this, we offer many opportunities to connect with the world of business, tackling real life scenarios, international issues, and learning from some of industry’s brightest minds.

 Applications are invited for The Durham Full-Time MBA Scholarship

Connected to business

We have forged strong relationships with many global businesses such as KPMG and Accenture. These all-important links enable us to provide real boardroom expertise and practical business projects. You will have the opportunity to work on intensive consultancy projects – with companies such as Santander, Vodafone and Tata Consulting.

Global thinkers

Our diverse and international student community, means you can benefit from our global perspective from the outset. You’ll also grow through exploring key issues of leadership, effective communication, change management and cross-cultural awareness. This might involve working with Chinese SMEs to address the problems and opportunities of their burgeoning economy or helping Sri Lankan textile manufacturers introduce sustainable processes.

Triple accreditation

We are proud to hold triple accreditation, from AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), AMBA (Association of MBAs) and EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System). It demonstrates that our activities are both of a very high quality and have a strong international dimension.

Putting skills into practice lies at the heart of the Durham MBA philosophy. So we bring them to life through our Boardroom Activity and Business Project.

International study week is another chance to compare and contrast real world business challenges – this time through company visits, lectures and cultural events in another country. 

Our full-time MBA programme features 7 core modules and 5 electives between September and June, and a 15,000 word dissertation or strategic business project between June and September.

At all stages we’re here to help you realise your goals and ambitions – offering excellent facilities and the support of a dedicated careers officer.
