Warwick Business School

WBS is one of Europe’s leading business schools and an international and highly-rated institution. The high standards set in both teaching and research have won acclaim from all the leading national and international assessors and accreditation bodies. WBS is one of only two UK schools invited to membership of GMAC, the Graduate Management Admissions Council and administrator of the GMAC test.

The Warwick MBA develops the key skills you will need as a senior manager; techniques in finance, operations, human relations, strategic planning and information systems. You will gain confidence in applying these tools in business situations using analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills. You will develop your personal capabilities for leading and motivating others.

The Warwick MBA is designed to give you an international perspective. Around half of the students are from outside the UK, and Warwick also welcomes exchange students, visiting professors, lecturers and research fellows who contribute to the school’s teaching and scholarship. The course material incorporates international case studies and builds on research the school carries out with partners around the world.

The Warwick MBA uses a blend of teaching methods. Case studies, lectures and group work are important, but computer-based learning, simulations and business games play a growing role. The central feature of the Warwick learning approach is the creative interplay and sharing of ideas and experience in a dynamic, multi-cultural group of participants.

The Warwick MBA is available in a number of study modes, all delivering the same high quality teaching and breadth and depth of syllabus.
