The event on September 16 will highlight Norwich Business School’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses, which are designed specifically to help people invest in their careers by building on past business experience, while learning new skills and business methods, and combining theoretical knowledge with the realities of the workplace.

The MBA programme has been created to help students develop the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence to lead organisations successfully through innovation, customer focus and talent management.

Norwich Business School offers the pioneering MBA in Strategic Carbon Management, which can now be undertaken in Norwich or at UEA London, as well as the full-time General MBA, and an Executive MBA which can be studied part time over 27 months while working full time.

All courses start in January and do not involve a traditional dissertation. Instead, students undertake a management consultancy skills module comprising two consultancy projects and a challenge event to help them gain valuable real life experience while they study.

Current students, graduates and course directors will be on hand during the open evening to talk about the MBA experience and answer questions. Examples of work, including the challenge events and consultancy projects, will also be presented.

The open evening runs from 6-8.30pm on Thursday September 16, at the Thomas Paine Study Centre, UEA. To find out more go to the Norwich Business School website www.uea.ac.uk/nbs or contact Jane English at j.english@uea.ac.uk or 01603 591753.
