International Master in Business Administration (IMBA)
The International MBA is a comprehensive and dynamic programme tailored for early career professionals. Students will graduate with a deeper understanding of organisational dynamics as well as the skills necessary to effectively and creatively navigate the challenges of the modern, flexible world of business.
The programme's emphasis on developing strategic management skills, along with its incorporation of real-world scenarios through projects and assessments, provides a practical, hands-on approach to learning. The course will be taught by industry experts as well as academics, giving students the opportunity to engage with current management issues and gain insights from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
The University of Suffolk’s modern and innovative approach to postgraduate study promotes critical thinking and advanced analytical skills essential for senior management roles. The blended learning approach, combining traditional classroom learning with online components, is designed to provide students with a well-rounded and flexible educational experience. The programme also encourages students to question generally accepted management and leadership practices in order to produce dynamic graduates ready for the rapidly changing global business environment.
The International MBA goes beyond traditional business education, aiming to produce graduates with a broad skill set and a nuanced understanding of management and leadership in a global context.
