Focus on MBA (with optional work placement module)

An MBA is recognised throughout the world for providing ambitious and motivated graduates with the skills necessary to succeed in life.

At the University of Northampton it gets even better because MBA students have the option to apply for a paid work placement as part of their studies, spending from six months to one year in an industry position. This work placement, which is included in your study visa, will give you the vital skills, experience and contacts required to forge a highly successful career.

You do not need any work experience to apply for the MBA and, as a graduate of this highly respected programme, you will join a community of influential tutors, business professionals and MBA alumni that spans the globe.

The placement option is available on the MBA programme for full time, on campus students only. A placement should last between six and 12 months, must be appropriate to the level of study and must be paid.

Students will be supported in finding and securing a placement opportunity, but it must be noted that placements are competitive and there is no guarantee of a placement offer being made by an employer. During a work placement, students attend two full day workshops held at the university and will undertake a research project based on the organisation in which they are working.

Students who are unsuccessful in securing a placement within the first nine months of their programme will automatically be transferred to the university’s business research project module to gain the

required credits to complete the MBA. This will be taught in three full day intensive workshops and supported with one–to–one supervision. Students will have approximately three months to work on their project and will complete their MBA programme within 12 months.
