 Stefan Nielsen MBA
I'm very glad that I chose the path that I did and have the MBA. UEL's MBA gave me an invaluable depth of knowledge in global business and the roles each department plays within an organisation. Those tools have opened up doors for me globally and were a factor in my success - achieving my dream job. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to improve their career path and skills."

But our MBA is about much more than the subject-specific information and knowledge you'll be expected to learn; you will also learn a lot about yourself and develop a wide range of skills and qualities during your time at the University of East London.

Our MBA will enhance your ability to think and act strategically and creatively, as you will be better placed to identify and evaluate ways to solve business problems.

You will enhance your problem-solving and decision-making ability in general, as you learn to research and analyse information in new ways.

You will learn to work productively as part of a team, improving your personal effectiveness and ability to make decisive contributions to business issues.

We consistently review and develop our courses and modules to ensure they are up-to-date with sector and industry graduate skills demands. Course structure, modules, and options are subject to change.

How you'll learn

To make our MBA as accessible as possible, it is offered on a part-time daytime basis. 
Our teaching is rooted in practical, real-world experience - making the most of our extensive links with major organisations based in Canary Wharf and East London, including Bloomberg, Accenture, and Barclaycard.

You will be taught through lectures, seminars, and workshops, working as part of a team to apply theory to practical matters; from producing business reports, plans, and presentations to solving business problems. We use real case studies from our business partners to give you an insight into the issues that major companies have to wrestle with, and how they solve them.

To ensure your understanding of business is fully up-to-date, we invite representatives from organisations like Barclaycard to come and deliver guest lectures and seminars. We also organise trips to leading businesses, where you can meet experts in their working environment, and attend conferences organised by the University.

Our teaching is always innovative, fresh, and rooted in contemporary topics - we deliver events and workshops that explore topical issues and honour our commitment to civic engagement by holding workshops with Business in the Community (BITC) to help you see how businesses can have a positive impact on their local communities.

At the postgraduate level you will be expected to put in a great deal of independent study - but you won't be left on your own. Our experienced staff will provide support and supervision and you'll be provided with a wealth of learning materials and access to business databases alongside our virtual learning environment.

We also encourage and support students to obtain work experience or an internship while on the course.

How you will be assessed

Each module is assessed separately - typically, there are two pieces of assessment for each taught module, so that you will have four assessments to complete in each term. A typical mix could include an examination, two will be group projects, and one will be an individual report. 

In addition, you will have, depending upon which option you choose, a further individual or group practical or theoretical research-based assessment.
