Curriculum
A top-ranked MBA
Ranked first in the world* for the fourth year running and top three in the world for sustainability and advancing environmental and social goals in business**, our Global Online MBA will provide you with a truly transformative experience, both professionally and personally.
An innovator and digital leader
Our online platform my.wbs removes geographical barriers by enabling you to discuss issues in real-time with your peers and academics. You can engage in lectures in real-time, test your knowledge, watch archived sessions, access teaching materials, connect with other students, participate in global syndicate groups and speak directly to your lecturers, peers and the Programme team through the platform.
World-leading, practical teaching
Our Global Online MBA has been running for over 30 years, allowing you to benefit from our extensive experience. Modules are designed and led by Warwick faculty, supported by a substantial team who produce and support the interactive materials. You will develop an inquisitive and entrepreneurial mind that will enable you to make a positive contribution to your organisation, thanks to the transformative research of our faculty, which underpins our teaching.
Face-to-face learning included
While the Global Online MBA is studied primarily online, the course is distinguished by the inclusion of residential weeks at WBS London, located at the iconic Shard building. During this time, you will meet your fellow students, discuss case studies, listen to guest speakers, and enjoy lectures and thought-provoking discussions with faculty and your cohort. Your study groups will be limited in numbers to ensure that everyone can join in the discussion.
In addition to the two residential weeks, you will study one elective module face-to-face (included in your tuition fee) either on campus at Warwick Business School, at WBS London, or you may have the opportunity to study abroad in cities such as Dubai, New York and Singapore.
Flexible 24/7 learning
We’ve built the Global Online MBA with flexibility in mind. This means that when your job needs to take precedence for a while, you can choose to slow down or take a break of up to two years before continuing your studies. You may complete your Global Online MBA in two to four years, depending on your personal circumstances. You will also have access to the University of Warwick library catalogue, including online journals, ebooks and industry databases, including Mintel, Amadeus and Statista.
