Notes for Editors

The highly-rated Bath MBA is a post-experience degree designed for people with a minimum of three years’ relevant management work experience. It looks beyond business processes and techniques to emphasise self-awareness, intuition, cross-cultural sensitivity and entrepreneurship skills, as well as a socially responsible and ethical approach to business and management. Our six, one-year MSc degrees combine high academic learning with practical skills, making graduates ‘work ready’. For more information on all these programmes, please visit our programmes pages.

As well as prize sponsorship, opportunities for organisations to work with the School exist in the form of undergraduate and MBA student projects and recruitment, tailored executive development programmes, and academic consultancy. Please visit our Business Connections pages for further information.
