Our MBA class of 2023 Foreword

Professor Stewart Robinson Dean of Newcastle University Business School

“The Newcastle MBA is much more than a management programme. We take our students on a leadership journey of self-discovery and transformation, giving them an opportunity to: enhance their self-awareness; integrate and apply their learning; develop their consulting skills; and contribute to, and lead, multicultural teams. They develop the knowledge and ambition to shape both their careers and the future of an organisation; a winning combination.”

Dr. Rebecca Casey Director of MBA Programme

“The Newcastle University MBA programme is designed in three key phases and each phase has a particular emphasis. Phase one develops our students’ core skills. Phase two prepares the students for global business and phase three enables them to demonstrate their impact. Our MBA students also benefit from real-world interaction through a guest speaker series, competitions and industry experiences. They develop consultancy skills, learn through immersive business practice and hone their leadership skills. Students learn to think and behave differently, question established norms and search for new answers as we prepare them for navigating the future of work.”

Jo Clark Deputy Director of MBA programme

“Students on the Newcastle University Business School MBA programme are a diverse group of experienced professionals, working together as MBA student peers. Our MBA students develop a deeper understanding of their respective global business challenges and enhance their management skills when working together in this multicultural environment. The international experience in the group is enhanced by team working on consultancy assignments throughout the year. Our students leave the MBA programme as more experienced professionals, understanding how to make a difference to business and wider societal challenges. Achieving both personal and professional transformation during the programme ensures our MBA students are fully prepared for these future challenges of leadership.”
