Curriculum

Tailored to Practising Managers with an Undergraduate Business Degree
In traditional MBA programs, most students do not have an undergraduate degree in business. For this reason, a great deal of time is spent teaching management fundamentals. The curriculum for Queen’s MBA for Business Graduates has been designed to be complementary and additive to the content of your undergraduate business program. Rather than relearning fundamental concepts you have already studied, the program focuses on advanced management topics that can help you take your career to the next level.
