Global Online MBA

Our Distance Learning MBA has a new name - the Global Online MBA.

Increase your business knowledge and leadership skills without stepping out of work, with our flexible, part-time Global Online MBA.

Who’s it for?

You’re an established professional looking for maximum flexibility in your studies. The majority of your learning will take place online at your own pace, wherever you are in the world. However, you’ll benefit from a global network of online learners during your live teaching and group work, and when you join us for two residential weeks at our Warwick campus. 

You’ll have at least three years’ professional business experience, and should be able to demonstrate progression in your career.

Benefits of our Full-time MBA

Flexible 24/7 learning - We’ve built the Global Online MBA with flexibility in mind. This means that when your job or personal commitments need to take precedence for a while you can choose to slow down or take a break of up to two years before continuing your studies. You may complete your Global Online MBA in two to five years depending on your personal circumstances. You’ll also have access to the University of Warwick library catalogue, including online journals, ebooks and industry databases including Mintel, Amadeus and Statista. 

An innovator and digital leader - With more than 35 years’ experience innovating in online learning, you’re in safe hands when it comes to the online element of your course. Our online platform my.wbs removes geographical barriers, by enabling you to discuss issues in real-time with your peers and academics. You can engage in lectures in real time, test your knowledge, watch recorded sessions, access teaching materials, connect with other students, participate in global study groups and speak directly to your lecturers, peers and the Programme team through the platform. We’re investing in new tech to support your learning, with our SmartStage™ helping to immerse you in your online experience. 

World-leading, practical teaching - Our Global Online MBA has been running for more than 35 years, allowing you to benefit from our extensive experience. Modules are designed and led by Warwick faculty, supported by a substantial team who produce and support the interactive materials. You’ll develop an inquisitive and entrepreneurial mind that will enable you to make a positive contribution to your organisation, thanks to the transformative research of our faculty which underpins our teaching. 

Face-to-face learning included - While the Global Online MBA is studied primarily online, the course is distinguished by including two residential weeks at the Warwick campus and one required face-to-face elective. You’ll meet your fellow students, discuss case studies, listen to guest speakers, and enjoy lectures and thought-provoking discussions with faculty and other participants. Your study groups will be limited in numbers, to ensure that everyone can join in the discussion.

Join our campus community during Residential Weeks – Based at our vibrant and dynamic campus in the centre of the UK, you’ll benefit from becoming part of the University of Warwick community, whilst maintaining easy access to the UK’s biggest cities and attractions. You’ll meet your online cohort in person, sparking new connections and conversations. 

A global community - As part of the Warwick Business School community, you’ll be joining a diverse network of Change Makers. You’ll have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with graduates online, and in person at networking events held around the world.
