Yes, this MBA is accredited by the Chartered Management Institution (CMI), a prestigious body that sets the international benchmark for excellence in management education. This accreditation ensures that our MBA programme meets high standards in content, teaching quality, and resources.

This means you can trust that you are receiving a top-tier education that is globally recognised and respected. An MBA with CMI accreditation enhances your credentials, making you more competitive in the job market and better prepared for leadership roles in your career.

CMI accreditation adds real value to your MBA by giving you Foundation Chartered Manager (fCMgr) status when you graduate, putting you on the path to full Chartered Manager status. This is the only professional recognition of its kind, awarded by CMI under its Royal Charter. This dual qualification tells employers you're committed to your professional development, making you more competitive in leadership roles globally.

As a CMI member, you’ll get access to career-boosting tools like the Employability Skills Diagnostic and the Career Development Centre. You’ll also benefit from access to ManagementDirect for learning resources, plus mentoring opportunities with experienced managers, networking, and events that connect you with professionals across industries. And, with access to the Qwell mental wellbeing platform, your personal wellbeing is supported throughout your studies.

With over 75 years of leadership development experience and partnerships with 850+ employers and 170 higher education institutions around the world, CMI accreditation is proof that the skills you’ll develop are aligned with industry needs.

The total fees are £10,250 for our online MBA.

All UK and international students who are self-funding can benefit from a tuition fee reduction of up to 5%* for paying in advance (*reduction depends on study duration).

UK-based students can apply for a Master's loan from the UK government. The postgraduate Master’s Loan is paid directly to your bank account to help you cover your tuition and living costs.

Once you've applied for a UK government loan, the review process can take up to 6 weeks. We recommend giving yourself at least 6 weeks between submitting your student loan application and your chosen start date, allowing you to focus on your studies without any unnecessary delays.
