Bridging provision: BA Business & Management

Where an applicant does not meet the academic component of the entry criteria specified above, s/he will be directed to Caledonian Business School’s BA Business & Management (part-time) programme. This degree will enable the applicant to enter year 1 of the Executive MBA.

Entry with advanced standing

Beginning in 2008, direct entry to Year 2 of the programme will be considered if the applicant holds a UK Postgraduate Certificate in Management or equivalent.  Such an entry to the programme is only possible when there is a close match between the prior certificated learning and the intended learning outcomes of Year 1 of the Executive MBA.  In addition, the applicant must have a minimum of three years relevant work experience, which can be of a managerial, technical or professional nature.  The applicant will be required to submit two satisfactory references: one academic and one employment.  Applications will be considered on an individual basis.

The Executive MBA is not available to international students seeking entry into the UK on a student visa. If you are interested in studying an MBA, please consider our full-time programme The Caledonian MBA.
