This MBA programme offers an international perspective on these two key areas which are of fundamental importance to business and society. It provides a sound understanding of corporate governance and corporate responsibility from corporate, investor and stakeholder perspectives as well as the broader understanding of the business world which is central to all MBA programmes.
Corporate Governance is an exciting area, fast developing to accommodate the needs of a changing business environment. Investor expectations are more demanding than ever before and the cost to companies that ignore the benefits of good corporate governance can be high. There has also been an increasing emphasis on corporate responsibility and the recognition that companies need to be accountable to wider stakeholder interests and to the society in which they operate. This programme considers these issues in detail and is relevant for a wide variety of careers in business or the not-for-profit sector.
The MBA is validated as a collaborative programme by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA); this means that, as well as graduating with an MBA, students who take all relevant modules will also achieve Grad ICSA status and will be exempt from the professional exams of the ICSA.
Chartered secretaries are employed as chairs, chief executives and non-executive directors, as well as executives and company secretaries. They are key players with the skills, vision and values to take their organisations forward.
