The Full-time Bradford MBA in Italy is run in partnership with the University of Perugia. It is based in Spoleto, about 40 km from Perugia in the Umbrian region of Italy, at The Rocca Albornaziana (find out more about the region, our joint facilities and accommodation in Perugia) .
It is taught in English and delivered Full-time over 12 months by a combination of senior academics from both universities. Teaching is in small groups, which gives the programme a tailored, intimate feel. Opportunities to take modules in Bradford or at one of our partner institutions in France or Spain are available and encouraged.
Bradford-Perugia MBA students benefit from a guaranteed three month internship , managed by the University of Perugia in conjunction with local Italian enterprises, at the end of the programme. They also have access to support, resources and services offered by both universities throughout their studies. This includes help with getting your visa.
All our MBA programmes are made up of three stages
Bradford-Perugia MBA students are taught an additional two core modules and can take advantage of the engineering and operations specialist electives delivered by University of Perugia academics. Alternatively, a range of other, specialist or more generalist MBA electives can be studied in Bradford or at one of our partner institutions in France or Spain.
Modules are delivered in weekly blocks using a variety of learning and teaching approaches, including lectures, case analysis, group work, individual and group problem solving research. Assessment is by a combination of written examinations, assignments, group projects and presentations.
(The range and diversity of electives and option to specialise in engineering and manufacturing is a key feature of our Bradford-Perugia MBA programme. Note: The offer of particular modules is subject to sufficient numbers of students selecting them.)
Most MBA students find the management project to be the most rewarding and challenging part of the programme. It involves conducting an original and detailed investigation of a specific business management problem, written in a 15,000-word dissertation. Bradford-Perugia MBA students do a three month placement with an Italian enterprise and would usually undertake a management project that relates to the company they are working with.
We provide plenty of support and guidance to help you to make your choice of topic and during the project itself. Many organisations come to us with company-based projects.

“The recent earthquake in Japan made me consider how I could contribute to my country. I wanted to help re-build the economy using my accounting skills. To make a real difference, I needed both my academic skills and a more rounded business approach – so I decided to look into doing an MBA.
I found Bradford’s full-time MBA at the University of Perugia in Italy. It had everything I was looking for.
Firstly, it had sustainability and corporate social responsibility at the core of all its MBA programmes. This was important to me because I wanted to be an MBA graduate that would make a difference to wider society, not just my own career .
Also, I was looking for a programme that would give me all the skills I needed to help back in Japan as quickly as possible. The Bradford MBA in Perugia is an intensive year of study which includes a three month internship opportunity immediately afterwards. The premise behind the programme is that it doesn’t interfere with your career but accelerates you on the way to your goals .
The other thing that attracted me to the Bradford-Perugia MBA was the range and flexibility of modules offered. The programme combines Bradford’s management expertise with Perugia’s engineering and manufacturing expertise, allowing students to choose a tailored programme incorporating both. Most Japanese and global companies are manufacturers. I believe that Japan’s rapid economic growth will come from the manufacturing sector such as the car industry (TOYOTA, Nissan, and Honda) and the electronics industry (Panasonic, Sony and Sharp) which produce high quality products. There is a lot that I can learn from the success of Italy’s manufacturing sector whilst in Perugia that I can take home to Japan.
There are a lot of globally famous scholars and specialists at both Bradford University School of Management and the University of Perugia. I believe this gives me the best chance of finding good mentors , which is very important for MBA students. Shuhari denotes that the good mentors lead students to not only their career goals but enriching lives in general.
Everyone has a different reason for choosing to do an MBA but many do it for more than self interest – many do an MBA for the greater good. If you want to do an MBA that will make a difference not only to yourself but wider society, then my advice is to choose one that has all these interests at heart.”
