MESSAGE FROM PROFESSOR JACKIE MCCOY, ASSOCIATE DEAN GLOBAL ENGAGEMENTULSTER UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL
I am delighted to announce a new Articulation Agreement between Cordia and Ulster University. Under this institutional agreement, we have identified a pathway for Graduates of the ATHE Level 7 Extended Diploma in Strategic Management, delivered at Cordia, to progress to the MBA at the Ulster University Business School (UUBS). According to the Chartered Association of Business Schools, UUBS is in the top quartile of Business Schools in the UK for Research Funding. It is also ranked 7th in the UK for Research Impact (REF 2014). That means we are at the cutting edge in delivering research informed curriculum that exposes our students to latest business and management theory and practice. Our MBA graduates are characterised by their ability to engage in critical thinking, seeing problems from multiple and competing perspectives and coming up with sticky solutions to organisational problems and important world challenges. The Ulster MBA creates not just managers of the future, but also leaders who are willing to take up senior roles in organisations and in their communities; making a significant and sustainable contribution regionally, nationally and internationally.I hope to join Cordia’s launch of the Pathway Programme in December of this year and I look forward to meeting you then. In the meantime, should you have any questions on the MBA at Ulster University, please do not hesitate to get in touch. j.mccoy@ulster.ac.uk
