Examines the content of an MBA programme at a leading UK business school and its effects on its graduates. A survey of the alumni from this MBA programme brought 344 responses.

They responded well to the competences gained during their studies and found a good fit with their needs in their business life. The responses from the study enable potential improvements to the curriculum to be evaluated against the benefits to the graduate’s working life.
