Specialists and professionals, from accountants to engineers, often find their progress demands movement into general management and the broader perspective gained by studying for an MBA greatly facilitates this move. Excellent in your current role is not sufficient to make you out as potential senior management. This is equally true if you are already a practising manager with some years experience or if you work in a specialist area such as accountancy or computing. The Durham MBA is offered in various forms to match the varied development needs of managers and so to assist their career development. In a highly competitive world a good degree is often not enough.
Employers are highly selective and competition for high-quality jobs is intense.
Equally, employers are looking for motivated young people who are prepared to invest in their future and to demonstrate commitment to professional development. The Durham MA in Management is offered in two modes, full -time and distance learning. The Distance Learning Programme enables the student to study management without taking a career break and is fully equivalent to the full-time programme. The Durham Distance Learning MBA programme is highly flexible, allowing study to take account of career moves and is designed to be followed by individuals working on their own anywhere in the world. The Durham Distance Learning MBA is one of very few distance learning programmes to be accredited by the Association of MBAs.
