Masters of Business Administration (MBA)

The Central Saint Martins Birkbeck Master of Business Administration is a different kind of MBA that places creative approaches and social engagement at the heart of future management and leadership. The programme challenges the orthodox business school approach to education, and instead focuses on cross-disciplinary collaboration. This programme aims to develop professional networks and to work collaboratively to make positive change happen. The MBA's radical approach lies in its philosophy: deep research and analysis leading to real, root-and-branch, change.
 This programme places tools and concepts in context, combining design thinking and creative problem solving with rigorous academic content. The cross-disciplinary approach will prepare students for complex and ever-changing business environments allowing them to develop critical thinking, decision-making, emotional intelligence, negotiation and creative cognitive flexibility. The MBA embraces the different perspectives of their cohort comprising students from a variety of professional industries and international cultures. The programme aims to prepare graduates for the next step in their career, whether it be a transformational senior management role within their current industry, or a new role in a completely new field of work. Entrepreneurial students are encouraged to set up their own businesses.
