  • Stage 2: Integrated Management - You will choose two of the three available options.
  • Stage 3: Management Specialisms (Entrepreneurship and Innovation) - The modules available to you in this specialism vary depending on what you selected to study in stage 2.

The One Planet MBA *New*

This is so much more than the usual MBA. We are recruiting an innovation cohort of 40 to 50 people to join the current Exeter MBA in October 2010. This will be a significant group of individuals who will work with academics and leading experts, as part of their MBA studies, to develop and form the One Planet MBA that will run from the following year. This group will steal a march on their contemporaries and lay a trail for a new generation of business leaders.

“One Planet” means a very specific kind of education. It refers to the fact that business planning of the future must recognise that we only have one planet’s worth of resources, yet we are currently collectively using over one and a third planets, a figure which increases daily. The combination of very significant and asymmetric population growth over the next thirty years, the inevitable tendency for increased consumption of natural resources, and expected developments in the political economy make it essential that business people be educated in a manner, and with a curriculum, very different from that of the past. The One Planet MBA will address this.
