As a Sheffield MBA student, you will learn with a wide variety of teaching styles. Whilst you will participate in traditional forms of university teaching sessions, such as lectures, seminars and workshops, experiential learning is at the heart of The Sheffield MBA.

Throughout the programme, you will be challenged to apply your learning to live organisational issues. In each semester, you will work in teams with a range of local and international businesses to provide solutions to real business challenges related to marketing and internationalisation strategies, as well as having the opportunity to create and pitch a new business venture.

Alongside learning from our world leading academics, we bring experts and business leaders from a range of industries, including members of our global MBA alumni community, into the classroom to share valuable insights from their careers to inspire you as you prepare for your future. We also ensure you have opportunities to visit companies, both in the UK and internationally. The London Career Safari and the international study trip will give you invaluable opportunities to broaden your horizons and explore a diverse range of career options, whilst networking with your fellow MBA students and leaders from a range of sectors and businesses.
