A Long HistoryLaunched in 1988 the MBA in Retailing places an emphasis upon individual coaching and tuition. It has positioned itself as a quality programme that offers a unique combination of general management skills and retail specific specialisms. Unlike some MBA programmes it has a limited number of places available and attempts to keep each intake to a maximum of thirty individuals.

Objective

 The programme has the following objectives:

• to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the industry and associated organisations;
• to encourage individuals to use their skills more effectively in areas such as strategy, human resource management, and marketing;
• to apply current management techniques;
• to develop responses to cope with market turbulence;
• to analyse problems and develop solutions on an industry-wide basis.

In order to complete the MBA an individual must complete ten taught modules and complete a dissertation. As individuals build up the number of credits passed, they qualify for more advanced academic qualifications. The qualifications offered at the University of Stirling are:

Six Modules Passed = Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration (Retailing)

Ten Modules Passed = Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration (Retailing)

Ten Modules Passed plus Dissertation = Masters of Business Administration (Retailing).
