Our MBA Capital Markets and Finance programme has been specifically developed with working professionals in mind. This 12-month fully distance learning programme begins with ‘taught’ e-learning chapters covering advanced techniques in research methods, project management, leadership, and statistics.

These are delivered through MLA Colleges Total Learning Package (TLP) which can be downloaded onto your computer so can be accessed offline. Students will blend their practical and academic research work and be able to fully demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities, during their 60 credit MBA dissertation module. The duration of this programme is 12 months; however, the flexible delivery allows students to study at their own pace, meaning that it may be possible to submit within a shorter or longer timeframe.

The programme offers one core MBA award with the option of subject specialism pathways, resulting in the following pathway titles being available:

• Maritime Operations
• Entrepreneurship and Innovation
• Marketing
• Capital Markets and Finance
• Financial Technology

• Degree: MBA Capital Markets and Finance
• Language: English
• Awarding Body: University of Plymouth
• Duration: 12 months of part-time study

Typically, eligible candidates will have one of the following: 

• Postgraduate Diploma or equivalent, in a related subject area 
• Combination of higher education and demonstratable relevant work experience evidenced via RPL (Recognised Prior Learning), typically in a commercial facing role (e.g. responsible for elements of business administration, financial management, budgeting, and leadership) 

And 

• English language GCSE Grade C or above, or international equivalent 

There are multiple pathways onto the programme, and our Admissions Team is here to help. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, get in touch – we’ll be happy to discuss your experience and explore the best route for you.

Whilst we deliver our programmes from a distance, that doesn’t mean we expect you to achieve everything without a friendly voice to guide you. Our expert team of academics are on hand to support you throughout your studies, whenever you need them the most.

Your MLA College Student Experience team, Abigail White and Charlie Vosper, are the first point of contact for enrolled students who are in need of pastoral support, including requests under the Extenuating Circumstances policy for matters related to their academic studies. Abigail and Charlie are also responsible for monitoring student engagement and academic progression and will contact students directly to offer assistance should they feel that intervention is needed.
