About the Online/Distance Learning
Master in Business Administration (MBA)
The MBA (Distance Learning Online Tutor Supported) incorporates the same learning outcomes, themes and aims as the other MBA programmes offered by Oxford Brookes University. We aim to prepare you for the challenges of senior management, to equip you to analyse, evaluate business situations and implement decisions, and to provide you with insight into and understanding of the contribution of leadership in accomplishing successful outcomes. This MBA aims to provide you with a stimulating and supported programme, allowing you to continue working while you study. This gives you an advantage in that you can put your learning continuously into practice. The programme gives you the flexibility to decide when and how to organise your studies and we will help you by providing structure and guidance. Tutors are accessible and responsive. You will be a part of an international community and be able to discuss business issues with other students from over 55 countries around the world. The MBA has two intakes per year in January and July.
You can access the online learning environment through the Internet. This provides you with access to a virtual library which includes full-text articles, market research reports and sources of company and business information. You will be part of a tutor group of up to 25 students and take part in online seminars facilitated and summarised by expert tutors. This global classroom enables the sharing of international business experiences and networking to provide the companionship and support often missing from distance learning. Seminars take place asynchronously, enabling you to take part at a convenient time. The programme uses the best of online support, together with purpose-written textbooks and study guides. You will be expected to attend two face-to-face workshops, which are offered in the UK and overseas, giving further opportunities to extend networks and develop your knowledge and skills.
