MBA programs in the UK differ from those in the US, in that students
typically have more work and managerial experience than American counterparts.
Because of this, many full-time MBA programmes in the UK typically last
one academic year (as compared with two academic years in the USA, and
at older UK MBA programs, such as those at Cranfield School of Management,
Manchester Business School, University of Warwick and Strathclyde Business
School). A number of UK Business Schools also offer the MBA by distance
learning e.g. University of Leicester and University of Warwick. The
Open University's MBA is completed by distance learning and is one of
the few MBA's to be accredited by EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. The London
Business School offers a two year full-time MBA.
