Additional entry requirements

A candidate’s work experience is highly significant and we are looking for applicants with a minimum of three years in a managerial, professional or entrepreneurial role and with experience of managing a team or project.  We will look carefully at your CV when assessing your suitability for our MBA programme, so you are strongly encouraged to include as much detail as possible about the responsibilities and tasks for each role and the skills you have developed from these.  If your CV does not sufficiently evidence your work experience, then we may not be able to progress your application.  

In addition, candidates should normally possess one of the following:

• First or second class honours degree, or international equivalent, or;

• Relevant postgraduate diploma, or;

• Qualification from a professional body recognised by UEA.

Applicants who do not hold a first degree or equivalent will be considered on the basis of their business and managerial experience, their career to date, and their likelihood of benefiting from the course. The final decision is at the discretion of the MBA Course Leader.
