MBA
I turned down other top universities to come to Derby. Why? Because of the teaching quality, CMI accreditation and the atmosphere I felt when I visited the campus.

The MBA: the mark of a top manager
All over the world, the MBA is the recognised management and leadership qualification. It's what millions of professionals worldwide strive to achieve each year, and what business leaders across the globe look for when searching for their rising stars of the future.
It's formal recognition that you have the strategic knowledge, insight and understanding to become a successful manager - and an inspiring leader.
The Derby MBA: A more personal MBA
- Smaller classes and more attention from tutors.
- A strong emphasis on applying the theory to your day to day working life.
- Study online, part time or in-company - not just full time.
All of these aspects make the Derby MBA a more personal experience, and therefore one of greater value to you.
Approved by your professional body
We're one of the few UK universities with an MBA accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) - the UK's professional body for managers and leaders.
This means that a Derby MBA is a big step towards achieving Chartered Manager status*, and proves that our course meets the highest professional management standards.
* Chartered Manager status is not guaranteed - it requires a formal application process to CMI that includes an assessment questionnaire, submission of an independent Business Impact Study and an assessment interview.
