Program Overview

The Chester MBA offers you the chance to build your global network, test your creativity, challenge your perceptions and develop responsible management skills for international corporate success. 

Studying with us allows you to tailor your MBA to your career requirements with our wide range of modules, whilst creating a global professional network with peers from around the world with our diverse student group. 

Our flagship MBA degree will provide you with a firm foundation in core business principles, while developing a broadened outlook and understanding of the role of business in the world, all informed by the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) and Sustainable Development Goals. You will be challenged to explore the areas that interest you most and gain the strategic skills and insight to start a successful career. 

Based in Chester, the famous walled city, our Business School is nestled on the banks of the stunning River Dee. The MBA is led by AMBA member Dr Trevor Omoruyi and includes a series of MBA Masterclasses from industry experts, bringing you cutting-edge business insights to inform your learning.

There is an option to choose a Project/Placement year for this course, at an additional cost.

The Professional Project MSc is your chance to get the experience you need to stand out to graduate employers and make a difference by solving real global business challenges and demonstrating practical application of your learning. Prepare for the future by reflecting on your experience and the enhanced skills that you have gained.

In the first year you will have help from the University to find a professional project whilst developing your expertise in the taught modules of your degree. You will then spend your second year working on a client-led project, getting the chance to work with industry professionals and building your contacts.

Students need to find and secure their own project, supported by the University. A preparation module will also help you to get ready for your project and develop your professional skills.

Please note, this programme is available as a one-year master degree programme, or as a Two-Year Master's Programme with a Professional Placement or Project. Please carefully consider your options when applying for our one year or Two-year routes as successful international applicants will not be able to change between programmes after a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) letter has been issued or after arriving in the UK.
