Programme structure

The Global MBA provides you with the fundamental skills for business during Year 1.

In Year 2 there is a wide range of elective modules to choose from, enabling you to specialise in the areas of most importance to your career. You will be able to choose six electives, including two on-campus electives and two international electives if you wish.

Our international electives provide you with a truly global MBA experience. You join with other cohorts of Bayes MBA students in a range of international locations for a unique opportunity to study industries in a completely new environment. This is your chance to develop an explorer’s mind-set, ready to respond to rapidly changing business environments.

Year 1

The first week of the course contains a series of live, interactive online events, focused on welcoming you to your programme, introducing you to peers and equipping you with the skills to be successful.

Concentrations

Concentrations are an added benefit offered by this course that can help you establish yourself in your specialisation of choice.

These are private recognitions – entirely independent from your MBA qualification – that acknowledge your expertise if you decide to take at least 40 credits from electives belonging to a particular cluster.

The Bayes approach to learning

During your time on the programme, you will learn the theoretical foundations of various decision-making tools and how to apply them in practical, industry-based contexts.

This overarching ethos, as well as the breadth and structure of the programme, will be supported by a compatible breadth of learning strategies. For example, you will:

  • Engage with foundational theory using a variety of online resources; this element of your studies will involve both self-study and direct interaction with our academics during weekly webinars
  • Develop your skills in the practical application of theory through extensive use of case discussion, formal lectures in webinars, group work, workshops, formative exercises, and projects
  • Undertake an integrating exercise, which will bring together your theoretical learning and practical application gained during the core modules in a real-world environment

You will also undertake individual study and group work in virtual teams for the preparation of case studies, research tasks, and other assignments, assessed or not.

This will consolidate your acquired knowledge and build the interpersonal and communication skills that are essential for your further career development.
