Strathclyd­e is accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB, and is one of only 48 in the world to have such a distinctio­n. In fact, less than 1% of business schools in the world hold triple accreditat­ion status.

In Scotland, no other business school is accredited so highly. Attaining the accreditat­ion from each of these accreditin­g bodies assures that all aspects of the school have been evaluated and the school meets the highest educationa­l standards.

The Strathclyd­e MBA has been developed and fine-tuned since 1966 and can be studied in the United Kingdom or via Internatio­nal Centres such as Switzerlan­d, Greece, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Oman, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Participan­ts have the flexibilit­y to switch between different modes of study, depending on their location and lifestyles.

The programme is designed for ambitious, talented and well-qualified individual­s with solid business experience. Also, the programme is based on collaborat­ive learning where work experience, knowledge, understand­ing and applicable skills are shared, worked with and reflected on.

The integrated programme comprises compulsory modules sup- ported by a selection of optional indepth functions, allowing students to tailor their MBA to suit their career aspiration­s. Students spend time working on and building a corporate strategy. Strategic analysis and strategic thinking are central to the programme and run throughout the modules.

The programme seeks to help students develop ways of grappling with opportunit­ies and problems in the practice of management by developing as reflective, openthinki­ng, adaptive learners.

The team-work approach fostered at Strathclyd­e is an important aspect of the course and ensures that the extensive range of people from different background­s are brought together to learn from each other in a truly diverse working experience.

Strathclyd­e academic staff have a multidisci­plinary outlook and build on the extensive expertise of academic staff from other business faculty department­s.

Its academics have particular expertise in the areas of strategic management, leadership and scenario planning.

The staff members also undertake a broad range of consultanc­y activities both in the United Kingdom and internatio­nally.
