Overview

Please note: this course is subject to validation - meaning some details are awaiting confirmation. First year of entry for this course is September 2026. Register your interest to be informed when applications open.

If you are ready to move from doing to leading, from managing within a system to shaping one, Newcastle Business School’s MBA can give you the academic depth and practical grounding to make that move with confidence.

The course is built for professionals who want to think more strategically, act more decisively, and lead with greater accountability across complex organisations. Drawing on research ranked 9th in the UK for Business and Management (REF, 2021), you can develop the analytical, entrepreneurial, and leadership capabilities that senior roles in the private, public, and third sectors increasingly demand.

Learning is immersive and applied throughout. Real organisational challenges, business simulations, and a research-led dissertation project connect your study directly to the role you are building towards.

This course is also available part-time, giving you flexibility to balance your studies alongside other commitments.

International students: because this course is subject to validation, we are not able to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for it yet. If you require a Student Visa to study in the UK, please register your interest - we'll be in touch as soon as the course is fully validated and applications open.
