Bradford University School of Management is launching joint MBA with an Italian university

Bradford University School of Management is teaming up with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Perugia in Italy.

Bradford University School of Management is a Top 25 European business school, and this new MBA programme will bring management expertise to the Italian manufacturing and engineering sector.

The Perugia MBA programme will give students the opportunity to combine management and business modules with specialist engineering and manufacturing modules based the Umbria region in Italy. This region is home to an industrial base of small and large manufacturing and food enterprises.

Dr Roger Beach, Associate Dean of postgraduate programmes at Bradford University School of Management, says: “The joint programme is designed to fill a gap in the market for MBAs in Italy in response to demand from the country’s vibrant manufacturing and engineering industry. It will give local businesses access to MBA level management expertise and students will have the flexibility to specialise in their chosen area using the combined expertise of both institutions.”

Paolo Carbone, MBA Director at the University of Perugia, says: “Offering Bradford’s well established MBA will help boost our business credentials and management research capabilities. Italian firms are becoming increasingly aggressive in their recruitment and are looking for the world’s best business minds. Graduates will gain experience of Italian business culture, which will put them at an advantage in the Italian and international jobs markets. The cost of living in Perugia is also surprisingly low.”

Approximately 50 places are available on the full-time one-year Perugia MBA starting in September 2011.

This MBA programme will be taught in English and all students will have the opportunity to undertake a three month internship with a local enterprise on completion of their studies. The joint programme will also benefit students studying in Bradford as student exchanges between institutions will be encouraged.
