COURSE OVERVIEW

What happens when you mix an arts school with a business school? The Central Saint Martins Birkbeck Master of Business Administration is a different kind of MBA that places creative approaches and social engagement at the heart of future management and leadership.

This MBA challenges the orthodox business school approach to education, and instead focuses on cross-disciplinary collaboration. You will become a new type of business graduate: one who can combine genuinely creative thinking and innovation with core financial and strategic management skills.

The aim of the course is to develop professional networks and to work collaboratively to make positive change happen. We will devise projects and offer live opportunities with external partners to do this.

CAREERS AND EMPLOYABILITY

The World Economic Forum consulted business leaders from major global organisations for its The Future of Jobs Report (2016). It concluded that the ten skills an employee would need by 2020 are:

complex problem solving

critical thinking

creativity

people management

coordinating with others

emotional intelligence

judgement and decision making

service orientation

negotiation

cognitive flexibility.

The MBA embeds these in its curriculum.

The course will prepare you for the next step in your career, whether it be a transformational senior management role within your current industry, or a new role in a completely new field of work. Entrepreneurial students are encouraged to set up their own businesses.

The emphasis on positive transformation and a socially motivated desire to change the world, coupled with a solid understanding of business and management, will create graduates who are keen to bring about fundamental innovation and systemic change.
