Starting in January, this unique programme - the first of its kind in the UK - has been created for the most highly motivated and committed students, offering them the chance to complete the Bradford MBA in a shorter time period than the normal 12 months. We have a cohort of up to 30 students who work in study groups of five to seven.

The programme begins with a week-long induction, designed to accelerate your learning and get those who may not have studied for some time, back into the way of learning. It is an intensive week which will update or develop your learning skills as well as provide an opportunity to get to know your fellow students. The programme consists of core modules that provide the fundamental knowledge of management principles and theory and advanced modules that build on this knowledge to provide a wider understanding of specific topics that have been identified as essential and relevant to the contemporary commercial world. The practice of sustainability is an important ethos at the School of Management, and this forms a major focus for the whole programme.

The programme uses a variety of learning and teaching approaches, including lectures, case analysis, group work, individual and group problem solving research. Modules are also delivered in variety of ways. Many of the modules are provided in a block-week format solely for the Accelerated MBA students, whilst others are held during the day or in the evening with our full-time MBA and Executive part-time students. In this way, you will experience the full benefit of networking with a fantastic mix of managers and professionals with diverse backgrounds and cultures from across the world.
