University of Leicester - School of Management

The University of Leicester School of Management is increasingly recognised as one of the top management schools in the United Kingdom, with an excellent international reputation for the development and teaching of intellectually stimulating business administration and management courses that are highly relevant to your career needs.Our vibrant group of scholars in accounting, finance, HR, marketing, management and organisation studies have developed a distinctive intellectual profile for the School which emphasises the centrality of ongoing, ethically informed, critical reflection in the delivery of meaningful managerial research and sustainable management practice. We share an intellectual conviction that organising is a highly complex historical phenomenon and that management is best understood in an inter-disciplinary context, drawing from the disciplines of sociology, politics, philosophy and economics as well as from developments in critical psychology, cultural geography, cultural studies and organisational theory.The Leicester ModelAs a business management school, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of management and organisations drawing from across the social sciences and, unlike most mainstream western business schools, our concern is as much with challenging the status quo rather than perpetuating it. We create space to debate management and seek in doing so to give voice to those individuals, groups and societies who are traditionally overlooked in global management and organisational processes, to propose alternative forms of organisation, and to help managers and organisations broaden their awareness of contemporary management issues.A Global NetworkThe School has students from over 90 nationalities currently studying with us, and added to our community of 20,000 graduates in over 80 countries worldwide means you will be part of a truly global network of peers not only during your course but upon graduation.Prestigious Accreditation and RecognitionThe Leicester MBA is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA). AMBA accreditation is internationally recognised as the global standard for all MBA programmes, meaning you can be confident in our quality. In addition, most of our courses have professional recognition from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), mean you will be studying a high quality qualification which has real credibility with employers.Our ProgrammesOur masters programmes are designed to benefit you as an individual and enable you to contribute to the success of your organisation.
