Ashridge Full Time MBA

The world of business is not a tidy arrangement of subjects. Managers cannot neatly schedule their financial issues for a Tuesday afternoon and their operational ones for Friday. The reality is that issues cut across the business and across functions.

And that is how we approach business courses at Ashridge. The full time MBA degree reflects the realities of business.

Would you learn surgery from a doctor who has never performed an operation? On the Ashridge full time MBA, you will learn from faculty who have earned their living at the sharp end of business. Ashridge conducts research but not for research sake. We are not about theory in isolation. Theory is useless unless it can be applied. We find out what companies are doing, and how they can compete.

There are no lecture theatres at Ashridge, no classes packed with fresh-faced graduates. You will study for your full time MBA degree in a small, interactive group. At Ashridge there is nowhere to hide! Your fellow participants, like you, will already have at least five years industry experience (average 12 years).

The full time MBA is an accelerated learning experience, particularly suitable for people experiencing or anticipating a significant career transition and/or change in career direction. It is an opportunity to take a year out of work to invest in an international experience that will stretch your thinking and your horizons.

We look forward to speaking with you further about how the Ashridge MBA could fit with your career and personal development aspirations.

5 star(s) out of 5 Thank you Ashridge ...
Even though it was initially suggested that I should consider the 2-year MBA, I opted to do the full-time 1-year MBA because I just needed to get myself completely focused inside the confines of a wonderful learning environment! This turned out to be the best decision I have ever made. I learned a great deal and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole Ashridge MBA experience, especially its multi-cultural class make-up. Since graduating with my MBA it has certainly opened many doors that otherwise would have remained closed. Thank you Ashridge.
