Welcome to the Master of Business Administration at the University of the West of Scotland. In choosing the UWS MBA, you join a community of professionals drawn from a wide range of countries. Each brings a distinct perspective, professional experience and set of aspirations. That diversity is one of the great strengths of the programme.

Induction marks the formal beginning of your student journey. Over two days you will meet the academic team, come to understand how the programme is structured, become familiar with the learning environment of the University, and begin to build the professional relationships that will sustain you throughout your studies and long beyond them.

We encourage you to commit fully from the first hour. Ask questions. Offer your own experience generously. Expect to be stretched. On behalf of the entire MBA team, it is our great pleasure to welcome you. We look forward to working with you 

Dr King Omeihe and Dr Shaif Ahammed (programme leader and deputy programme leader).
