The core courses ensure you have an in-depth understanding of the essential business disciplines. They give you a solid foundation of knowledge which you apply to practical projects throughout the rest of the programme. You build on previous experience and acquire new knowledge and practical skills in accounting, economics, finance, statistics, marketing, organisational behaviour and strategy.
The Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design (IE&D) course is a collaboration between Imperial College Business School, Imperial Innovations, the Royal College of Art (RCA) and other partners. The IE&D course goes beyond lectures, to offer you a real entrepreneurial journey during which you take an innovative idea and turn it into a marketable product. The process is as relevant to someone exploring innovation within an organisation as it is if you are planning to start your own business.
Elective courses provide you with the opportunity to specialise in an area of particular interest or to explore new avenues. As an Imperial MBA student, you undertake six electives.
Putting into practice the theory taught on the MBA, this project allows you to develop specialised expertise by researching a real business issue. Projects range from consultancy assignments to theoretical analyses and are often sponsored by companies.
The programme also offers a number of optional elements to ensure you make the most of your time at Imperial. These include:
- Adjunct Professor Masterclasses
- Industry sector clubs
A Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma are not available on this programme.
