The Glasgow MBA

The Glasgow MBA is an experience that will change your life.

The MBA programme at the University of Glasgow will help you to think critically. As you progress through the  programme you will begin to question what you already know, stripping away preconceived ideas to develop better approaches to life and to business. We know this because we have been transforming managers since 1976.

You will benefit from the experience of world-class teaching from academics in the areas of Marketing, Risk, Strategy, Project Management, Leadership and Supply Chain Management. Our academics are invited to consult and research with organisations around the world, giving them first-hand insight into how organisations work. This means that teaching on the Glasgow MBA is at the cutting edge of business knowledge.

When you enter the Glasgow MBA you join an international community built on the foundation of Scottish hospitality. Participants are welcomed from all over the world to learn from each other and to gain a truly international perspective. No matter where you are from, or in which industry you have worked, you will feel at home in Glasgow. Through shared experiences and multi-cultural teamwork you will develop life-long friendships.

The Glasgow MBA will teach you the skills and tools needed to be a successful manager, which is only the beginning. The Glasgow MBA matches an ancient tradition of academic excellence with exposure to contemporary business practice. The international experience that our MBA provides will give you a broader perspective on the challenges facing future leaders and managers working in an ever changing world.

Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Visas

This year for the first time the University of Glasgow has been allocated 10 general endorsements and 10 MBA endorsements to allow students to apply for the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) visas.

These visas allow non-EEA graduates to stay in the UK for at least one year (it can be extended up to two years) to develop their business ideas with a view to turning them into legitimate start-up businesses. Students must have a genuine and credible business idea and should work closely with iGnite (the student enterprise programme) to develop the proposal and formulate a business plan. This will then be assessed and considered by an experienced panel before the student can apply for the visa. Once the visa has been approved by UKBA, the student must agree to a monitoring programme which is designed to help them develop and grow the business.

For more information contact the Careers Service and iGnite (brian.baillie@glasgow.ac.uk) or visit the UKBA website:
