Or, maybe you want an MBA that will make you stand out from other managers in the eyes of your employer.You definitely want an MBA that will repay your investment many times over. The Aston MBA has a track record of achieving all of these objectives. It marks you out as a well-informed, effective manager, able to analyse and solve complex business problems. Quite simply, it equips you to fulfil your own ambitions.And, while there are different modes of study through which to achieve the Aston MBA, you’ll find the content and value is the same whichever you choose.Our MBA programme has been consistently recognised as one of the leading MBA programmes in the world. The MBA is accredited by AMBA, and the school is also accredited by EQUIS and AACSB, one of only a small number of schools worldwide to hold this triple accreditation.The quality of the Aston MBA rests on the excellence of our teaching and research, and the very strong links with employers that run through everything that we do. All MBA modules feature corporate connections and an international dimension. The vast majority of academic staff at Aston have many years of experience in industry and are at the cutting edge of research in their particular fields.In early 2006, we opened a £22 million extension to the business school, offering first class teaching and study facilities for our MBA students. And for a change in scenery, full time students visit and study at a top European Business School for a week, which is included in the cost. In previous years, MBA students have visited New York, Nice, Paris, Barcelona and Leuven. In turn we host MBA students from our International partners. The Aston MBA is a programme for candidates who really mean business and who have the confidence and stamina to make the grade.Full time MBACommences mid-September.The full time MBA course is taught over three terms and followed up with a business project.
