Course Description:

'' A leading edge MBA qualification created to help individuals and their organisations face up to the challenges of preparing for the successful management of technological change. It is designed to develop people who can lead technological and organisational change in a rapidly moving business environment, and who understand how to manage new and changing technologies to achieve excellence. The programme’s development was supported by the European Union’s COMETT programme, and it provides throughout a European perspective on the management of technology. The OU Business School is accredited internationally by the European Foundation for Management Development, through its EQUIS programme; and by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

to the MBA (Technology Management) comprise managers, engineers, technologists and scientists whose jobs include managing technology.

You must have a minimum of three years�experience in a managerial, professional or technical role. Usually this means that you are at least 25 years old.

The MBA (Technology Management) is in two stages. You must expect to successfully complete Stage 1 before you enrol on Stage 2.

Stage 1

There are three routes through Stage 1

Route 1 �if you already have a bachelors level qualification

To follow this route you must have at least a bachelors level qualification from a recognised university in Europe, the Commonwealth or rest of the world or the equivalent. Further details are set out under Approved Minimum Entry Requirements below. If you are eligible for this route you can complete Stage 1 either by taking the Certificate in Business Administration course, Fundamentals of senior management (B713) or, if your qualification is in business studies area, you can study the Professional Diploma in Management course Managing performance and change (B700) (see under Approved Minimum Entry Requirements below for more about which course you are eligible for given your qualifications). Both B713 and B700 involve 600 hours of study over 12 months.

Route 2 �if you already hold the Professional Diploma in Management or a postgraduate qualification; or have partly completed some postgraduate study

If you have our Professional Diploma in Management (D64) you can count this as Stage 1 of the MBA.

Alternatively, if you have a postgraduate certificate or postgraduate diploma in management or business administration, or a masters degree in a related area from elsewhere, or have partly completed such a degree you can apply to transfer credit. You should do this urgently because, if your application is successful, it may mean that you can count the credit you are awarded as the MBA Stage 1 - permitting you to continue to Stage 2. Alternatively, or even in addition, it may result in some credit for Stage 2, reducing the amount of study needed at that stage. Not applying promptly may mean that you end up studying a course unnecessarily. You are advised to look at our Credit Transfer website.

Route 3 �if you are experienced in managerial work

If you are experienced in managerial work but not eligible for Route 1 or 2, you can take our Professional Certificate in Management (C31), prior to entering Stage 1. When you complete that certificate, you are then eligible to study our Professional Diploma in Management (D64) as Stage 1 of the MBA. The Certificate followed by the Diploma will take two years.

If you need advice about entry to the programme, please ask our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.

Stage 2

If you start your studies after November 2006 and wish to develop a specialism in technology and business strategy you are recommended to study the optional course Strategy (B820) before the compulsory course Technology strategy (T846) as this will provide the underpinning for the more specialised approach to strategy employed in T846. Furthermore, the compulsory course Making a difference (B830) should be taken in your final year of study, either alone or alongside one or two other courses.

You must complete the required courses for your MBA (Technology Management) within ten years, passing a minimum of one course every two years. If you fail or withdraw from a course, you are allowed to retake it once.

Your MBA must include at least 60 credit points from OU courses that have not been counted in any other OU qualification you have been awarded.
