The general management master's: strategy, leadership and decision-making, taken while running a function or a firm.
If you already hold a recognised postgraduate diploma in management, the MBA is closer than you think. One capstone project stands between you and a full British MBA.
The Transformation Capstone Project is 60 credits of supervised work on a real management problem — ideally one inside your own organisation. You are assessed on case analysis, a proposal and the final dissertation, not on examinations.
This is the top-up stage: the final 60 credits of the master's. It is designed for applicants who already hold a recognised postgraduate diploma at SCQF Level 11.
Holding a bachelor's degree is enough to start. The ADVEX Diploma in Business Management (SCQF Level 11) takes six months and admits you to this stage. Taken together as Arden Master Plus, the two stages carry you from a bachelor's degree to a British MBA in twelve months, on one enrolment and one instalment plan. Most of our MBA learners enter this way.
Delivered in Bangkok and online by ADVEX Management School under a transnational education partnership with Arden University, United Kingdom.
