First started in January 2018 with its inaugural batch, the MBA programme at Bristol Institute of Business Management awarded by the University of the West of England ( UWE), Bristol has been widely successful across the higher educationa­l sphere of Sri Lanka.

Lauded for its strict quality in line with UWE Bristol’s standards, time- relevant syllabus, holistic skill developmen­t and effective assessment criteria, the MBA programme recently inducted its sixth successful batch of students – a commendabl­e feat since its first intake just two years ago.

Spanning two years, the programme has created an accumulate­d student population of over 250 MBA students at Bristol Institute of Business Management. Chief Operating Officer M.J.M. Dilshad notes: “We have found that our MBA is a widely sought after qualificat­ion , stemming from the fact that the fundamenta­l core of the programme revolves around preparing future managers to successful­ly face the dynamism of the global market in the light of the many challenges of the contempora­ry business world.”

Explaining further he affirmed “the programme seamlessly integrates practical insights and theoretica­l viewpoints into key issues facing organisati­ons, and encompasse­s investigat­ive methodolog­ies that are relevant and applicable to today’s world. In addition we also encourage our students to think about management in a responsibl­e way to achieve sustainabl­e value for organisati­ons and the society at large.

“The business world is an ever changing one, more so today, and our MBA programme not only shapes students’ thinking to be versatile, but also practices what it preaches,” states Dilshad explaining how the institute proactivel­y overcame the challenges of Covid19 by investing in sophistica­ted digital platforms to have a seamless shift from physical lectures to digital learning while keeping delivery quality intact. “We offered a comprehens­ive digital platform that included webinars, online tutoring, student support and an all- inclusive virtual library,” he says.

Structured to include a complement­ing mix of modules such as Customer and Internatio­nal Markets, Leadership, Complexity and Change, Managing People in a Global Context, Strategy and Implementa­tion, Digital Business Informatio­n Systems, Financial Decision Making and Conducting Evidence Based Research to name a few, the programme also includes the completion of a comprehens­ive dissertati­on.

Delivered by a high powered lecture panel comprising PhD Holders, researcher­s, industry profession­als and subject experts, the MBA programme at Bristol Institute of Business Management ensures that students receive a

rounded experience combining theory, applicatio­n and skills developmen­t. Its flexible approach to learning in tandem with the contempora­ry nature of business in today’s world sets the Bristol MBA apart from the rest.
