Master Business Administration MBA

As a student at our Business School for the Creative Industries at UCA Epsom, you will gain an understanding of how global corporations operate as you examine and evaluate real-life case studies and form a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge. You will learn the key skills expected of those in senior positions in organisations, and will be encouraged to explore entrepreneurism and develop your capacity as a future leader.

Independent learning is at the core of this course - you will be expected to identify, develop and manage your own business project based on your chosen specialist area of the creative sector. Through a proactive relationship with your tutor, you will lead your project work and be supported by staff and through engagement with industry connections. Every course within our Business School portfolio is taught with a global perspective, giving graduates the skill set required to pursue a creative business career anywhere in the world. Our teaching programmes are all project-based, combining knowledge from both business and the creative industries to ensure that you graduate as a well-rounded, highly employable professional with a highly-regarded qualification.

If you do not have UK qualifications, we will consider equivalent qualifications from your home country for entry onto our Foundation, Bachelor’s and Master’s courses.

You can find out more about specific course entry requirements on our individual course pages of University.

Employability is one of the core ethos of the course and is evidenced in the overall philosophical course aims, in the approach to teaching and learning, as well as being underpinned by co-curriculum activities, where students will gain transferable skills which add values to their future employment and enterprising ventures. As well as specific industry standard skills and attributes, employers are looking for the ‘soft skills’ acquired through interacting effectively in groups and teams, and additionally the ability to work independently and diligently managing their own time. This profile of teaching and learning strategies therefore strongly encourages these qualities and prepares students for the world of work by inculcating these transferable skills. Career management skills are embedded through the knowledge, skills and behaviours which support students effectively to manage their careers and to develop through life. Students will develop and practice leadership behaviours throughout the course.
