Learning purpose
Ashridge Full Time MBA
The world of business is not a tidy arrangement of subjects. Managers cannot neatly schedule their financial issues for a Tuesday afternoon and their operational ones for Friday. The reality is that issues cut across the business and across functions.
And that is how we approach business courses at Ashridge. The full time MBA degree reflects the realities of business.
Would you learn surgery from a doctor who has never performed an operation? On the Ashridge full time MBA, you will learn from faculty who have earned their living at the sharp end of business. Ashridge conducts research but not for research sake. We are not about theory in isolation. Theory is useless unless it can be applied. We find out what companies are doing, and how they can compete.
There are no lecture theatres at Ashridge, no classes packed with fresh-faced graduates. You will study for your full time MBA degree in a small, interactive group. At Ashridge there is nowhere to hide! Your fellow participants, like you, will already have at least five years industry experience (average 12+ years).
The full time MBA is an accelerated learning experience, particularly suitable for people experiencing or anticipating a significant career transition and/or change in career direction. It is an opportunity to take a year out of work to invest in an international experience that will stretch your thinking and your horizons.
Entry Requirements
Admissions requirements Admission to the Ashridge MBA is subject to your academic ability and track record of achievement in the workplace. We also look for evidence of the following: • realistic and clear career goals and how an MBA fits with these • your understanding of the distinctive features of the Ashridge MBA and its implication for you • your ability to contribute in an environment that emphasises small group sizes and peer group learning • your potentially distinctive contribution to the learning process and environment. Academic ability A first degree is desirable. Candidates with significant professional experience will however also be considered. Work experience You should have at least five years’ work experience, although the average on both the Full-time and Executive MBA is 12 years. English language ability If English is not your first language, you must provide evidence of strong English language skills via either the TOEFL IBT (score of 100+) or IELTS (minimum score of 7) test. Your spoken language skills will be assessed during your admissions interview and in some cases, you will not be required to take one of the language tests cited above (for example, if you can demonstrate evidence of working in English on a daily basis).
