Learning
Key timings for your MBA
The MBA commences in September 2027.
The MBA is delivered in person at Durham University Business School over 12 months. Teaching normally takes place Monday to Friday, with taught sessions typically scheduled from 9am to 1pm and programme-related activities taking place during the afternoons.
Your MBA begins with a two-week Welcome & Orientation programme. During the first week, you will be introduced to the MBA, the wider University and the programme team. The second week focuses on activities designed to help you get to know your cohort, prepare for your studies and begin developing the collaborative working relationships that will be important throughout the programme.
You will learn through a combination of lectures, interactive workshops, case studies, group-based activities, presentations and engagement with invited business practitioners. These are supported by substantial independent study, allowing you to prepare for taught sessions, explore subjects in greater depth and apply learning across different areas of the MBA.
Applied and experiential learning is embedded throughout the programme. This includes the Boardroom Exercise, the Strategic Consulting Project and the compulsory International Business in Context module, which includes an overseas study experience. Together, these activities give you opportunities to apply your learning to organisational challenges, learn from your peers and develop your ability to operate effectively across different business and international contexts.
Assessment
Assessment methods vary across the programme and are designed to test both your understanding of management concepts and your ability to apply them to complex business and organisational challenges. You will be assessed through a combination of written assignments, case analyses, examinations, individual and group reports, presentations, portfolios and applied project work.
Assessment is closely connected to the practical and integrative nature of the MBA. This includes the Boardroom Exercise, where you are assessed through a simulated senior-management environment, as well as concentration-specific assessments which may include analytical projects or the development of business proposals.
The programme culminates in the 60-credit Strategic Consulting Project, a substantial individual project in which you work with a real organisation to investigate an agreed business or organisational issue. The project enables you to integrate and apply learning from across the MBA, demonstrating your ability to analyse evidence, exercise professional judgement and develop well-founded recommendations.
Accreditations
The MBA is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA). Durham University Business School also holds AACSB International and EQUIS accreditation, giving the School triple accreditation from three of the leading international bodies in business and management education.

Scholarships and bursaries
The skills and knowledge I've gained during my MBA will undoubtedly be valuable in my future career. The programme was hands-on, with projects like our boardroom project, where we conducted a full analysis of a company, developed strategic plans, and acted as company executives to present our findings. I still remember the immense sense of achievement we all felt the day after we presented our ideas.
