Routes through the MBA (Life Sciences)

How the Programme Works

Your entry point and the best route through the MBA (LS) depend on your experience and qualifications as well as your particular needs and interests.

The MBA (LS) has two stages.  Stage One provides a sound foundation in the functional aspects of management.  You take one of two programmes, the Professional Diploma in Management or the Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration.

Stage Two comprises three courses.

Flexible Timescales

We’ve designed Stage Two of the MBA to be as flexible as possible, so you can qualify in the minimum time, or spread the workload a little more. Making a Difference should be taken after Strategy.
