Course Description The Cardiff MBA is designed to provide its students with a comprehensive background in all aspects of business and management, while also providing an opportunity to focus in on a specialist area of management for those who so wish. All students study twelve compulsory modules which include the core areas of Strategic Management, Organisational Behaviour, Finance, Marketing, Human Resource Management and Operations Management. Students then select three elective modules and also prepare a major business project and those who choose to do so within a specialist field are deemed to have followed one of five pathways: Accounting and Finance, Human Resource Management, International Management, Marketing and Strategy, or Operations Management and Logistics. Alternatively, students may follow a general route and select electives across these disciplines.
