The Cardiff Met MBA 

The Cardiff Met MBA is an internationally recognised and respected qualification attracting students from the public and private sectors, from the UK and abroad. The MBA brings to the fore current thinking in management education and will develop critical thinkers with effective problem solving skills at managerial level.

The course covers the fundamentals of management education - a refresher for business graduates or an introduction for non-business graduates. Core modules then broaden and critically examine key business and management fundamentals, integrated with linchpin modules in strategic management, equipping you with the ability to think conceptually and holistically. You will also undertake optional modules, from a comprehensive list allowing for focus in a particular field such as finance, HRM or marketing, or a more general management focus.​

The MBA is offered through a number of innovative routes and specialist pathways including the full-time MBA, an MBA (Advanced Entry Programme) and an Executive MBA.
