Business studies are increasingly popular with students from all countries and the MBA (Master of Business Administration) is the most popular business qualification. MBA programmes are designed to develop management skills, knowledge, the ability to analyse complex problems and the ability to make strategic decisions. There are literally hundreds of MBA programmes to choose from in the UK, from those that teach principles of general management to highly specialised programmes tailored to careers like agribusiness, banking and finance, construction, oil and gas, health care, hospitality, transport, and technology. Many have links to relevant industries to ensure their direct relevance to the working world.

Many postgraduate courses - particularly MBAs where people tend to need to continue working - are now offered via distance learning. This allows you to study from home with course materials provided by the institution. These can be paper-based, on CD-Rom or accessible via the Internet.
