MBA Study Options
Course members can choose a study route to suit their own circumstances and can move between them as their lifestyles, career and family obligations change.
The quickest way that the Strathclyde MBA can be earned is one year, via full-time study in Glasgow. Flexible learning course members are allowed up to five years to complete their studies, but we recommend a timetable of study to allow completion within 3 years. Available study routes are as follows:
The Strathclyde MBA:
- Full-time, 12 months
- Part-time via our international centres, 2 - 3 years
- Part-time (evening classes in Glasgow), 2 - 3 years
- Flexible Learning, 2 - 5 years, average 3 years
Strathclyde Associate MBA Programme:
Flexible friend
The Strathclyde MBA is designed to be flexible. Depending on your personal circumstances, we offer many ways to study the Strathclyde MBA - there is the one year, full time programme, part-time, overseas via one of our centres or off-campus via our flexible learning route - you can even move between these study routes, if your circumstances change e.g. start full-time then move to flexible learning.

however and whenever the course is taken:
- Common admission criteria across all programmes.
