The Strathclyde MBA is based on collaborative learning - students share work experience, knowledge understanding and skills.

The overall process of the Strathclyde MBA is summarised as follows:

  • You begin with the skills and learning processes vital to the adaptive manager
  • Then you explore the contribution of specialist areas to management and organisations
  • Followed by developing an understanding of techniques and theories of management and strategy, and integrating the diverse areas of theory and practice
  • Subsequently, you choose your path towards further development
  • Finally, you launch your post-MBA career as an on-going learner – fully able to understand, implement and manage different forms of thinking and practice.
