European MBA
One of the Most Innovative Business Schools in Europe
For over 200 years the University of Strathclyde has had a mission to be ‘a place of useful learning’: that statement still drives the University of Strathclyde Business School and distinguishes us from our competitors.
We are educational pioneers – and the Strathclyde MBA, the first one year MBA programme has been continually evolving, improving and striving to reflect current business practices since 1966. We are one of only 37 business schools in the world to hold international accreditation from the 3 industry hallmarks of excellence – AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS. In addition to triple accreditation, Strathclyde Business School is Europe’s first university faculty to be awarded a licence to operate an MBA programme in the United Arab Emirates.
With 9 well-established international centres in Europe, the Gulf and SE Asia, we have a large international student base and alumni, offering you great potential to network both during and after your MBA studies at Strathclyde.
