Global business demands 24/7 flexibility. So if you work in this dynamic environment – and are planning to take your career to the next level – our personalised Global MBA programmes are for you, whatever your location.

Choose from three options:

• Global MBA
• Global MBA Online
• Global MBA (Finance)

For those seeking a taste of the traditional Executive MBA experience but without the necessary time available to commit to full on-campus study, our standard Global MBA pathway allows you to combine online delivery with optional block-taught residential modules in Durham or Frankfurt. Alternatively, if classroom-based instruction is just not an option, the exact same MBA experience can be accessed via our state-of-the-art virtual learning environment though the Global MBA Online study route. Finally, for managers seeking to develop their careers within a financial function or institution, our specialist Global MBA (Finance) integrates a broad-based cross-functional curriculum with advanced-level training in accounting and financial management.

Learn how you want, where you want

The Global MBA offers exceptional flexibility, enabling you to tailor a programme that best suits your needs. You may opt for 100% online learning supported by online lectures, podcasts and state-of-the-art virtual learning resources. Alternatively, you may choose to attend electives at our annual Summer School.

You will benefit from having a Personal Tutor for each module.

A world of opportunities

The international nature of the Global MBA encourages the sharing of new ideas and perspectives at every level. We extend this even further by offering you the opportunity to take part in an international field trip which gives you the chance to experience real life business challenges in a country such as China, France or South Africa.

Connected to business

The Business Project offers the opportunity to connect with real business issues. Some students choose a project related to their existing company; others opt for working with a completely new regional, national or international organisation.

We also offer a careers support service for all postgraduate students – including phone consultations and access to extensive online resources – whether the aim is to develop your existing career or change direction. Face-to-face appointments during the Durham Summer School are another useful option – easily arranged by emailing our consultants in advance.

Our alumni network is there to help you extend your professional contacts further – both during and after your course.

Triple accreditation

We are proud to be one of only a few UK business schools to hold triple accreditation: AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), AMBA (Association of MBAs) and EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System). Together these demonstrate the exceptional standards of the School and its programmes.
