The Essex MBA is for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders who are eager to deliver sustainable business solutions and build a future they believe in.
At Essex Business School, we cultivate your talent and empower you to think faster and smarter. Whether you want to sharpen your strategic thinking, enhance your leadership, or develop an entrepreneurial mindset, this MBA equips you with the skills and insights to thrive in today’s fast-paced business world.
The Essex MBA goes beyond a degree. You’ll gain hands-on experience in key business areas like strategic marketing, sustainable operations, and finance. With a focus on globalisation, sustainability, and innovation, you’ll develop the edge to lead and drive change.
You are also expected to have an absolute minimum three years' of good quality, relevant, professional work experience, post-graduation, at the course start date. You must also evidence that you have experience managing people, projects or budgets, that you have been able to progress in your career so far and/or that you have been involved in additional entrepreneurial or community focused activities.
Once you have applied, your experience will be assessed individually against these criteria before a decision is made on whether your application will be progressed to the interview stage.
If you are a non-standard applicant (which is typically an applicant who has an undergraduate degree below a 2:1, or an applicant who does not have an undergraduate degree at all) we require at least five years' of relevant managerial experience. You will also be required to write an essay (max. 2000 words) outlining a range of business situations that you have experienced and identifying what you have learnt from them, linking this to how your MBA studies will support you in similar situations in the future.
All MBA applicants must submit an up-to-date CV. For each professional role, your CV should include: company name, job title, dates of employment, details of your role and responsibilities and an outline of the skills required or learnt in the role. You must also submit a personal statement which is specific to the Essex MBA programme, tells us why you think it the right programme for you and how your work and other experiences will help you to succeed on the MBA.
You don’t need to have completed GMAT to apply for the Essex MBA but we particularly welcome applicants with a GMAT score of 600 and above. If you have completed GMAT, please submit your score as it may strengthen your application and your chances of securing a scholarship.
We accept a wide range of qualifications from applicants studying in the EU and other countries. Get in touch with any questions you may have about the qualifications we accept. Remember to tell us about the qualifications you have already completed or are currently taking.
