Overall Structure

The MBA covers the following major subject areas

•        International Marketing
•        Operational Product/Service Delivery
•        Managerial Accounting
•        Financial Modelling
•        Leadership and Management
•        International HRM
•        Project Management
•        Strategic Management of Enterprise and Operational Risks
•        Management Dissertation/Business simulation/Work Based Learning

MBA Dissertation / Business Simulation / Work Based Learning Project; Students have a choice of doing two of the following three for this module: a business simulation, a management dissertation or an work based learning project.  For the dissertation, there will be a research-planning component to this module, which will take place in the second semester.  The businesses simulation and the work based learning project may be suited to those with management backgrounds or students sponsored by companies that wish to solve managerial problems.

Due to the nature of the Management Dissertation/Business Simulation/Work Based Learning and since it is worth 60 credits, this component can be delivered over the course of 2 semesters.

MBA Internship

MBA students are expected to take part in an internship during the course of their MBA program.  The Internship is an important part of the program and provides students with learning opportunities not offered in the classroom.  It also allows students to apply their knowledge to real work examples.  While students will be responsible for securing their own internships, the Business Schools Employability Office will assist students in this process.  The Internship can also be used for getting credit during the Dissertation / Business Simulation Module.

Teaching and learning methods used are varied. They are designed to encourage students to accept responsibility for their own learning, collectively as a group and individually. The programme hopes to promote independent study and the development of self-management skills.

There is a requirement for students to undertake set reading on certain topics and explore relevant literature for assignments and seminar discussions. Students are expected to demonstrate knowledge and skills gained through participation in seminar discussion and oral presentation.

The programme aims to have a high degree of participation, encouraging sharing of information, ideas, experience and values. Tutors expect students to use their knowledge and expertise to relate theory to practice in the context of their own work experiences.

The programme aims to develop an approach to learning which encourage you to "transform" rather than simply to "reproduce" the theories and ideas to which you are introduced. Overall the intention is to enable you to develop as someone who is proficient in the acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills in the various fields of management and someone who is committed to a critical understanding of your own learning and potential professionalism.

The learning environment will not be limited to the traditional methods and will incorporate other learning tools such as field studies, guest speakers, as well as study tours.  Field studies will help students to get a first-hand experience of what the business world is like, and consequently allow them to apply the theory they have learned to real life examples.  Guest speakers will share their personal experiences with students, which will allow them to learn about a variety of industries from a managerial perspective.  Study tours will be organized to an international destination, keeping in mind the importance of Leadership.  These tours will allow students to learn about business in different cultures, making their degree truly international. 

The assessment strategy takes into account both the mode of assessment and its timing within the programme. Each module comprise of at least 2 different forms of assessment, which will be identified at the beginning of each semester in the module handbooks. Deadlines will also be communicated then although the majority will be in week 7 and14 alog of assessments will be published. Ranges of assessment methods are used on the programme. There will be:

•        Formal examinations
•        Course work
•        Assignments
•        Individual and group project work
•        Presentations

The range of assessments is designed to reflect the variety of situations confronting the modern manager and will reflect the learning outcomes of each unit.
More detailed assessment criteria will be made available for each piece of work, supported by guidance from the tutor. In general assignments should exhibit

•        A high standard of written English and presentation
•        Logical and well-structured argument and organisation.
•        Critical understanding of theory and concepts
•        Application of this understanding to business practice
•        Clear referencing and sourcing.

Examinations take place in January and May of each year with re-sits in August..
To obtain an award a student needs to pass all the modules.
The overall pass mark for each module is 50%. The mark for each module is the aggregate of the various components of assessment. A mark of at least 40% must be obtained for each component of assessment in each module. Students would be normally expected to complete all components of the first semester before progressing to the second.
No mitigation would normally be considered.

The programme is aimed at practising managers. The programme is based on the appropriate QAA subject benchmark statements which indicate that the MBA is a generalist Masters programme (type 3) and involves the application of theory into practice.

The learning outcomes of this programme are partly based on the student’s ability to reflect on what has been studied and put this into the context of their work experience. This reflective process is on going throughout the programme.

The 60-credit module is explicitly used to encourage students to learn and reflect on  Finance and management practice. The application of these practices is simulated in both, the rigours of the business simulation (both in the participation and the Dissertation writing), UK only, and the Management Dissertation. The Management Dissertation can also be a work- based exercise or problem solving exercise as well as investigation of a particular business and management issue.

The aim of this major 60-credit module is to act as a focus for the skills and appreciation of the context of business embedded throughout the programme. Research skills will be taught as part of this module to enable students through reflective practice to apply those skills to either a specific research topic or an application of theory to practice in a business scenario. The dissertation MUST be written in the area of  Finance.

It is recognised that not all students wish to complete a management dissertation but participate in a simulation or do a work based learning project. Whilst some, (those sponsored by organisations, for example), may be obliged to research a particular problem/area for their organisation. The students therefore have a choice between these three elements of this module.  

The management dissertation is a major piece of work of 14,000 words with a similar weighting being given to an individual component in the simulation or the work based learning project.

The main aim of the management dissertation is to enable students to research and to write up a problematical aspect of business/management practice. This could be work based or reside in the general field of management. The aim is to enable students to critically survey and analyse relevant theories and models and then to conceptualise them in order to make recommendations for problem solution. The skills and context aspects of the module prepares students for this task.

The business simulation's function is an opportunity for those students who do not wish to write a report to apply theory to practice based on their experiences in the simulation. This will be run over a set period of time and students will participate individually or in teams competing against each other. The simulation will be carried out either in class using relevant information technology, or be field-based and linked to an internship.  The in-class simulation will be led by an instructor, who will guide the students in carrying out the simulation. 

Students opting to do a work based learning project will be guided by a member of staff in the host organization along with a member of faculty at UEL.  Students may participate in group work and complete a substantial piece of individual work (14,000 words) based on the simulation or the work based learning project. 

At UEL, we realize that you are making a large commitment to your future by studying for an IMBA.  Therefore, we want to do everything possible to ensure that your experience with us is a transforming one and will give you an opportunity for significant personal and career enhancement. Consequently, we are constantly pursuing what we believe will be value added opportunities for our students.  One of these opportunities that we hope you will take advantage of while at UEL is our partnership with the Washington Semester, Graduate Gateway Programme. This is an optional semester programme.  The programme includes a graduate seminar in Global Business and Trade, a course elective from the Kogod School of Business (an AACSB accredited business school), and a business-related internship which you will work at three days a week all inWashingtonD.C.,U.S.A.  Students who have participated in this programme have had internships with the International Trade Administration, A.G. Edwards – National Brokerage Firm, World Bank Group, Ameriprise Financial Services and other well known multinational corporations

For an MBA, networking is considered as one of the most valuable outcomes.  Added value will come in the form of the extra and co-curricular activities that students will engage in throughout the MBA.  The interaction students will have with the business community will not only ensure they get real life examples of business, but also enable them to network with business professionals.  The MBA program features a Master Class series of guest speakers.  In the Master Class, guest speakers are invited to speak at the business school, and talk to MBA students about important issues that are critical in the business world.  Our guest speakers come from a wide range of organization including from the FTSE 100 as well as Fortune 500 companies.  Some of our recent speakers come from organizations such as Microsoft, SAP, Bank of America, Barclays Bank, Deloitte Consulting, etc.  The speakers hail come from a variety of positions including CEOs, CIOs, SVPs, VPs, Directors, Managers, etc.  Guest speakers not only enrich the student experience but also provide with excellent networking opportunities for our students.  The business school also provides students with other networking opportunities throughout the year.

The MBA program is based in the modern, custom designed Molex suite.  The Molex suite is sponsored by Molex Inc., whose CEO is a UEL MBA Alumni.  The suite offers MBA students state of the art classrooms, study spaces, meeting spaces, and computing facilities.  In addition to the University keeps, from time to time, office space in Canary Wharf, London’s financial hub.  This facility allows the business school to hold guest lectures, organize events, and conduct training sessions.  Due to its location, it becomes an ideal place for London’s business community to interact with our students.

The other added value comes from the wide range of international experience of the staff in both teaching and professional life. Most tutors have industrial experience in terms of employment and consultancy work and work with organisations in the region and on a national level. A significant number are active researchers. Links with industry can be exploited.

The MBA is a recognised qualification of managerial competence at a strategic level and as such exemptions are granted by numerous professional organisations (e.g. CMI). It also opens the way for continuing personal and professional development. Many of our graduates have gained significant promotion upon completion of the programme.

The programme aims to provide consistent and continuing support for students through staff involved in teaching, administration and programme management. The MBA ( Finance) Programme Director will act as overall tutor to all students on the programme.

A pivotal role is played by the Postgraduate Student Support Centre, This Centre is staffed by a team of professional administrators, and offers a range of services, support and advice in key areas. An example would include: enrolment and accommodation queries; requests for letters to the Home Office; reference letters for work and for bank accounts, and general assessment queries. Most student support needs can be met directly by Support Centre staff, who work closely with the academic tutors. They are also able to refer students for more specialist support and guidance on counselling, careers etc.

AESS also provides individual tutorial support to cover particular linguistic and academic needs.
In general support is provided through,

•        Accessible and supportive module tutors.
•        Student support centre with dedicated staff.

Quality section

How we assure the quality of this programme

Before the programme started, the following was checked:

•        there would be enough qualified staff to teach the programme;
•        adequate resources would be in place;
•        the overall aims and objectives were appropriate;
•        the content of the programme met national benchmark requirements;
•        the programme met any professional/statutory body requirements;
•        the proposal met other internal quality criteria covering a range of issues such as admissions policy, teaching, learning and assessment strategy and student support mechanisms.

This is done through a process of programme approval which involves consulting academic experts including some subject specialists from other institutions.

The quality of this programme is monitored each year through evaluating:

•        external examiner reports (considering quality and standards);
•        statistical information (considering issues such as the pass rate);
•        student feedback.

Drawing on this and other information programme teams undertake the annual Review and Enhancement Process which is co-ordinated at School level and includes student participation. The process is monitored by the University’s Quality Standing Committee.
Once every six years an in-depth review of the whole field is undertaken by a panel that includes at least two external subject specialists. The panel considers documents, looks at student work, speaks to current and former students and speaks to staff before drawing its conclusions. The result is a report highlighting good practice and identifying areas where action is needed.

This programme has a programme committee comprising all relevant teaching staff, student representatives and others who make a contribution towards the effective operation of the programme (e.g. library/technician staff). The committee has responsibilities for the quality of the programme. It provides input into the operation of the Review and Enhancement Process and proposes changes to improve quality. The programme committee plays a critical role in the University's quality assurance procedures

The standard of this programme is monitored by at least one external examiner. External examiners have two primary responsibilities: 

•        To ensure the standard of the programme;
•        To ensure that justice is done to individual students.

External examiners fulfil these responsibilities in a variety of ways including: 

•        Approving exam papers/assignments;
•        Attending assessment boards;
•        Reviewing samples of student work and moderating marks;
•        Ensuring that regulations are followed;
•        Providing feedback through an annual report that enables us to make improvements for the future.

The following methods for gaining student feedback are used on this programme:

•        Module evaluations
•        Student representation on programme committees (meeting 2 times year)
•        Student/Staff consultative committee (meeting 2 times a year)
•        Programme notice board/web ct.

Students are notified of the action taken through:

•        Circulating the minutes of the programme committee
•        Providing details on the programme notice-board
•        Oral communication/feedback on progress to the whole group.

The following methods are used for gaining the views of other interested parties:

•        Formal contact with external examiners
•        Approval for major changes in the programme via school board, programme committee, Squac and external; examiners.
•        External industry views.
