Master of Business Administration (MBA) - (Family Business Management)

Brunel University of London

This course is practical, fulfilling, integrated and, thanks to our world class teaching and research facilities, always relevant to today’s ever-changing business environment. The Digital Innovation Management MBA focuses on equipping future leaders and aspiring managers with the toolkit aimed at dealing with technological innovation, vast amounts of digital information, Big Data and using them to make strategic decisions. This matches and reflects upon the increasing digitalisation and the reliance on Big Data as well as the disruptive shifts taking place in the work environment and economy. The course is designed for professionals who work in the IT sector and have an engineering or technical background, as well as entrepreneurs. The Digital Innovation Management MBA has seven core modules (students do not take Operations Management) and two electives: Information Systems in Organisations and Managing Digital Technology and Innovation. The Career Development Programme is an integral part of your professional development while you are studying your MBA. Landing a top job after completing your MBA is, of course, a key objective, and the Career Development Programme is designed to provide the tools to help you achieve your ambitions. The programme will help you define your career goals and create a personalised career action plan. You’ll have access to one-to-one careers coaching to help you understand what makes you stand, out whether it’s your particular management experience and skills or specialist knowledge. We’ll also help you with your CV, LinkedIn profile, and a professional portfolio as well as providing support in building a career plan, job-hunting, writing applications that get noticed, and brushing up on interview techniques. As part of the MBA, students receive advice on all aspects of career planning, including a reassessment of their true strengths and weaknesses. This aspect of the MBA programme is invaluable to students who, having worked in managerial roles for a number of years, may now wish to evaluate their experience to date so that they can progress further, now and in the future. As well as regular visits to companies for MBA students, many representatives from these companies also visit campus as part of the MBA guest speaker series, Let’s Talk Business. Companies like Barclays, IBM, Microsoft UK and Goldman Sachs have an ongoing relationship with the Brunel MBA, giving students the chance to network and work with them during campus visits.
