Hull MBA Overview
Internationally accredited, the Hull MBA will help you develop into a confident, high-level professional capable of leading effectively and responsibly in a global business environment.
You'll build high-level skills across the functional and operational areas within an organisation, making you a highly-valuable member of any management team.

The programme incorporates world-class research, undertaken at the school, and is grounded in your business experience, delivering practical benefits in terms of personal and professional development.

This international study option will also include an organisational visit at the overseas location.
MBA Program Structure
The taught elements of the Hull MBA are organised around five interconnected key themes, ensuring that learning in one area can be associated with and deepen understanding of all others.
The main functional areas in business are addressed across the themes of Managing Relationships, Managing the Value Chain, and Managing Knowledge, providing you with a comprehensive overview of how modern organisations operate.
Alongside this specialist expertise, the programme cultivates a broad perspective on the management of complex organisations, management decision making and the personal and professional skills needed to operate effectively in dynamic international contexts. This is achieved through the integrative material on the themes of Managing in a Global Context and Managing Strategically, exploring issues that run throughout the programme and across the functional themes.
To be awarded the Hull MBA students must complete
- ten core modules, two from each of the five core themes
- two optional modules
- an MBA Dissertation
