Fees and Expenses:

in accordance with University regulations, all students become liable for payment of the full tuition fee on registration.
Some UK students (e.g. many Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students) will have their tuition fee paid on their behalf by an awards agency but it is important that such students make a prompt application to the relevant authority for fee support (see below). Please also note that applications for fee support from award agencies must be made every year - awards are not renewed automatically. In most cases, this application process will also allow undergraduate students to apply for a student loan if this is required.

New undergraduate students from England, Wales or Northern Ireland will be liable to a tuition fee of £1,775 per annum. These students may take out a loan to cover this fee, in addition to any student loan they may take out to cover living costs. Students in this position normally apply for support through their Local Authority (LA) or (in Northern Ireland) the Library Board.

Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students who are liable to meet their own fees will be liable to pay £1,255 per annum instead of £1,775, but should apply to the Student Awards Agency for Scotland for the £520 differential to be paid on their behalf.
(Students unsure of their status in terms of tuition fee support can seek advice from several sources - please see the end of this note for details).

Founded in 1900, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth is now experiencing the greatest period of momentum in its history. Many factors contribute to this unique success. Foremost would be their people, who together create an environment that is unmatched.

Programs offered:

1) Full time MBA
2) Executive Education
3) Business Bridge Program

Tuck MBA:

A Tuck education prepares you to think on your feet and act decisively in any business environment.
Tuck's curriculum is comprehensive and specific. The focus is on leadership. Through rigorous coursework you will acquire the knowledge you need to lead—in finance, strategy, marketing, general management, and more. You will be ready. Not just for your next great job, but for your career. For your future.

The teamwork emphasized in their MBA program is an essential element of your success. The dynamics within study groups are electric. You will perform at your highest level because your team is counting on you.

Tuck's MBA is flexible enough to meet your unique interests. Through elective courses you can steer the curriculum to reflect your own direction. Joint- and dual-degree programs and exchange programs respond to your unique goals.
Pursuing a Tuck MBA is a wise investment in yourself and in your future.

Joint & Dual Degrees

Tuck offers joint and dual degrees in association with Dartmouth's other graduate programs and some of the nation's best professional schools. Tuck also permits students to design their own dual-degree programs with other universities.
http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/degrees.html

Executive Education:

Tuck's open programs are learning experiences for a more general audience that focus on a broad general-management topic or drill deeply into a specific area or skill set—or both. Yet, similar to our custom engagements, Tuck open programs offer an intimate, intense learning experience and focus on clients' real-world needs. Your needs.

Never simply a repetition of trendy business thinking, their programs address specific challenges that are part of what's happening in business today. And they frame them in a fresh, creative way. In fact, Tuck open programs have become the mainstay of executive education for many world-class organizations, both locally and globally.

• Leadership and Strategic Impact
• Tuck Executive Program
• Online Bridge Program

Business Bridge Program:

Business skills are valuable, no matter what path you take in life. They're marketable. They make you infinitely more employable. The Bridge Program is a proven path, a fast-track to mastery of business basics. So, even if you're not considering a career in finance or management, you should consider Bridge.
One of the first things you'll learn here is how to work successfully within a team. This cooperative mentality comes from classes and assignments that mirror the working world. It comes from recognizing and playing off the strengths of others. It comes from presenting, as a team, to faculty and being evaluated as a group, not just as an individual.

• Bridge is a four-week, total-immersion program for rising juniors, seniors, and recent graduates of arts and sciences colleges
• Bridge sessions take place at the Tuck School of Business on the campus of Dartmouth College
• Participants live and eat on campus
• Admissions considers undergraduate grades, SAT or ACT scores, and essays
• The cost for 2008 is $9,000, which includes tuition, books, and room and board.
• 2008 Bridge Program sessions take place:
June 9-July 3 and July 14-August 8

Campus:

The Tuck School of Business is located in Hanover, N.H., on the banks of the Connecticut River in the heart of New England. Tuck is part of Dartmouth College, a member of the Ivy League. It's a place with endless opportunities for intellectual and personal growth, thanks to its people, facilities, and beautiful setting. Our comfortable, top-notch facilities foster informal interactions among community members and offer easy access to the latest technology. Located at the west end of Dartmouth's beautiful 200-acre campus, Tuck's interconnected buildings provide an integrated living and learning environment.

Academic & Administrative Buildings

Tuck's six academic and administrative buildings contain large and small classrooms, group study rooms, conference rooms, lounges, a business/engineering library, and offices for faculty and staff. Tuck classrooms are located in Tuck Hall, Byrne Hall, and the Murdough Center. A wide range of study spaces are available around campus, including in Stell and Whittemore Halls.

Residential Buildings

Residential living is a foundation of the Tuck culture-which includes teamwork and the building of lifelong relationships. Students and partners live on or nearby campus, making spontaneous social events and shared activities a way of life. Tuck's residential character is one important reason that Tuck alumni are among the most loyal of all the business school in the world.

Faculty:

You learn more when your classes are taught by the best. At Tuck, you'll have access to the best. Behind each name in their faculty directory is a teacher, present in the classroom, calling you by name and challenging you to contribute. Each is also a scholar, actively pursuing academic inquiry. And each maintains strong connections to the corporate world, helping to shape the practice of management worldwide.
An incredible thing about their faculty is their accessibility outside of the classroom. One of the reasons they teach at Tuck is because they want the opportunity to know their students as individuals. Their faculties are an integral part of the Tuck community.

Have a question, an idea, a comment? Talk to your professor after class. During their office hours. Over coffee. At dinner. Tuck gives you significant access to outstanding teachers at the forefront of their fields. All of their full-time faculty teach in the MBA program. Their fields of study exceed the boundaries of a curriculum. And when you want to know more, you'll have the opportunity.

Those are things it takes 10, 15 years to learn on the job ... you can do it in two at Stern."

You're learning from people who work on Wall Street, on Madison Avenue, and in the huge companies of Manhattan. And it's not just the professors.

I'm much more knowledgeable and confident about the latest things like budgeting and people management that come up every day at work. After each module, I go back and think how, practically, am I going to apply what I've learned to my job. Because at the end of the day, that's really what it's about."
Christian Kremer
Managing Partner, Kremer Associés & Clifford Chance
Member, TRIUM Class of 2004

Joint Masters Program:

MBA/MA in French Studies (Institute of French Studies)

The NYU Stern Undergraduate Program:

The Undergraduate College at NYU Stern is one of the most selective undergraduate business programs in the country. It is also the oldest of Stern's constituents and one of the oldest business schools in America. The College's four-year curriculum effectively integrates liberal arts studies with state-of-the-art training in business administration, while placing a strong emphasis on communication and interpersonal skills, professional ethics and the global dimensions of business today.

NYU Stern's Undergraduate College is unique among its peers for its focus on international business. It is the only undergraduate business college anywhere to incorporate-and fund-an international business study trip for all its students. From day one, the undergraduate curriculum at NYU Stern provides students with the business knowledge and cultural awareness they'll need to take maximum advantage of their third-year international term-project and study trip.

“One of the things I love most about Stern is its practicality. Stern isn’t a school where you learn things that you’re never going to use on a day-to-day basis. At the height of the corporate governance scandals, I was taking a seminar in which the CEOs of major companies like American Express and Deloitte & Touche came in to talk to us about what was going on. In one of my marketing classes, the brand managers of a new soft drink discussed the commercials they were making in a basketball court right around the block from us. In my business law class, I actually sat in on the Martha Stewart trial. New York becomes an extension of the classroom at Stern. It has a lot to do with the professors. They’re not just working in academia. They’re out in the field doing the things we hope to do one day.”
Lee Miller

Doctoral Program at NYU Stern

Oxford University: Said Business School

The Saïd Business School is fully integrated into one of the world’s greatest universities. This allows you to draw on Oxford’s strengths across a range of subjects, including sociology, economics, law, psychology, politics and international relations. Working at the interface of disciplines, faculty and researchers are mining rich new insights into issues such as the politics of global business, the rise of science entrepreneurship, the management of innovation, and the social and commercial impact of information systems and the Internet. By collaborating actively with faculty from other disciplines, they are aiming to transcend the traditional functional divisions of a business school in order to reflect the complex realities of business and society in today’s global economy.

The Saïd Business School plays a dynamic role in setting the future agenda in the business arena. Their faculties are all at the forefront of their fields and provide intellectual leadership for institutions such as the European Commission, the European Corporate Governance Institute and the World Bank. They are committed to helping organisations stay ahead, whether by furthering theri understanding of the Chinese marketplace, or by identifying the strategic demands of high-tech companies.

Programs offered:

1) BA in Economics and Management
2) Diploma in Financial Strategy
3) Diploma in Organisational Leadership
4) DPhil Programme
5) Executive MBA
6) Executive Education
7) Full-time MBA programme
8) M Eng in Engineering, Economics and Management
9) M Eng in Materials, Economics & Management
10) MSc in Financial Economics
11) MSc in Law, Finance and Economics
12) MSc in Management Research
13) MSc in Major Programme management
14) Professional Training for Social Scientists

BA in Economics and Management:

The BA in Economics and Management is jointly offered by the Saïd Business School and the Department of Economics. The subjects are ideal intellectual partners, each particularly fitted to strengthen and cross-fertilise the other. Economics provides the broader understanding of economic activity within which all organisations function; management in turn analyses the character and goals of that functioning.
Throughout the degree the theoretical and the applied are firmly welded together, whether in macroeconomics, marketing or information management. Each course orientates its subject in a broad intellectual and social context. Accounting, for example, is not studied simply as a self-contained body of technical expertise (although this is fully covered) but also as a tool for decision-making, for evaluating performance and for understanding the organisation and its positioning and relationships.

While the BA in Economics and Management covers all the core areas of both subjects, it is also notable for the range of options it makes available - some 20 in all. These options allow students great flexibility to compose their own course in accordance with their individual interests and career needs.
For further information, please go to the University of Oxford's undergraduate prospectus.

It is designed to equip those who wish to extend their knowledge and develop senior management skills. Each module is taught over four full days of teaching in January, April, June and September allowing participants to complete the Diploma within one year.

Campus:

The courtyard
A key feature of the new building is the provision of informal working areas. There are numerous open spaces throughout, including cloistered walkways and a large internal courtyard - all of which help foster informal interaction between students, faculty and visitors. Professor Anthony Hopwood, formerly Peter Moores Dean of the School, comments: “I call these ‘democratic spaces’ because of the ease of interaction which they facilitate.”

The common room
The common room is a relaxed area for easy socialising with fellow students, faculty and staff. The common room is a large semicircular space with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the School's landscaped grounds. These contain the Fellow's Garden, a place for quiet reflection, and the remains of Rewley Abbey, the very first seat of learning in Oxford. During the summer, students can also relax in the large internal courtyard or sit in the 300-seat amphitheatre, which allows excellent views of the surrounding countryside.

The Sainsbury Library
The School’s Library and Information Services comprise the two-floor state-of-the-art Sainsbury Library and the award-winning Virtual Library, an electronic gateway to a wealth of business information. The Sainsbury Library’s lower floor contains the library and IT helpdesk, a short loan collection, a rolling stack, an informal seating area and over 40 study desks, many of which are equipped with PCs. The upper reading room, with its distinctive vaulted ceiling and impressive views, is intended for quiet research and holds 90 fully-networked study desks.

The Nelson Mandela Lecture Theatre
Most classes take place in one of four wood-panelled lecture theatres, with desks, each with its own network connection, arranged in a horseshoe pattern to facilitate open discussion. These theatres contain dual screens to enable simultaneous use of a range of visual media, and there are numerous seminar and project rooms for small group work. There is also a 300-seat theatre to cater for larger-scale lectures.

Master of Supply Chain Management:

Companies are increasingly looking for innovative leaders with the vision and skill to
manage their supply chains.
The global supply chain is as much about moving information and services as it is
about moving goods. Moving customer account data from Mumbai to New York requires
as much competent supply chain management as does moving microprocessors from
Phoenix to Berlin. The supply chain embraces the entire life cycle of goods and services.

It touches every function of global commerce. Business leaders view it as the central
nervous system of the world economy.
Supply chain management encompasses marketing, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics,
inventory management, and information technology and customer relations. It’s about the

Executive Education:

Michigan Executive Education offers a comprehensive management development program to accelerate the growth of key executives and prepare them for leadership positions. Business Acumen for High-Potential Leaders offers a unique opportunity to acquire the business acumen skill set and gain an enterprise-wide perspective on the competitive challenges of today's business environment.

High-potential leaders have already displayed an aptitude for business, but their business knowledge may be incomplete or lacking the connections across functions. They have successfully demonstrated leadership qualities, but have not yet developed the management skills to lead a larger, more diverse operation. And they have participated in planning activities, but not as the visionary leader who is expected to guide the future direction of the firm.

http://ucla.nus.edu/prog_briefings.htm

PhD In Management

Research-based programs such as the PhD program is aimed at preparing the students to understand the world of business and organizations at a more fundamental level; also, generate ideas for the future, and teach this body of knowledge. Doctoral students need to deeply reflect on the very principles and tools taught to the MBAs, and ask the question of why something works the way it does.
Doctoral studies prepare the student to do rigorous research and eventually communicate the results. An aspiring doctoral student must first appreciate this fact and the attendant rigor.

The Kellogg School's unique approach to management education prepares students to become global leaders who can analyze an organization's structure in depth, find creative solutions to business challenges, and build consensus across diverse groups.
These are the qualities that distinguish the Kellogg School MBA graduate. Taught by a world-class, research-based faculty, and supported by a network of 50,000 alumni globally, today's students continue the legacy that began when the school was founded at Northwestern University in 1908. Today, Kellogg remains one of the world's most prestigious business schools.

Part Time Program:

The Kellogg School's Part-Time MBA Program in downtown Chicago offers top-quality academics, award winning faculty, networking opportunities, top classmates from varied professions and sense of community that exist only in Kellogg MBA programs. The Kellogg part-time programs also offer schedules, either evening or Saturday, that are designed to meet the needs of working professionals. Indeed, many students say they were drawn to the Kellogg part-time program because the class material is directly applicable to their job, and they can earn a Kellogg MBA without forgoing two years of work experience and advancement with their current employer. Students enrolled in the part-time program gain from exposure to an outstanding faculty with a reputation for scholarly achievement and consulting expertise, and from interaction with fellow students. These exposures and interactions combine with the academic curriculum to help students develop the insight and capacity to make on-the-job contributions that lead to executive responsibility.
http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/parttime/index.htm

Doctoral Program:

The principal objective of the Kellogg School's doctoral program is to train men and women for academic positions in universities where they will create and communicate new knowledge. Doctoral students are provided with the skills necessary to succeed as scholars: the ability to think critically, facility with rigorous research methods, knowledge of the relevant questions in their field and the motivation to continue learning throughout their career.
Kellogg seeks candidates who have a willingness and desire to do scholarly research. A previously earned graduate degree or work experience is not required for admission. Most students finish their PhD in four to five years of full-time study, making this course of study a serious commitment. Part-time or distance-learning study is not available.
http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/doctoral/index.htm

Undergraduate Programs:

The Kellogg School of Management’s Certificate Program for Undergraduates addresses these needs, aligning business requirements with the exceptional talents of Northwestern University students. The program is open to Northwestern juniors and seniors — regardless of their school or major — who have strengths in mathematics and analysis and a grounding in the liberal arts, including students in Northwestern’s highly regarded math and engineering programs. The certificate program’s distinctive four-course curriculum develops students’ critical thinking and business applications skills with a foundation in the quantitative analysis that underlies all strategic business decisions. Analytical models taught in the program can be applied to business scenarios such as mergers and acquisitions, valuation, asset management, new products, strategy formulation, supply chain design, and pricing.
http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate/index.htm

Executive Education:

Executive MBA Program:

Executive MBA students complete two years of study in general management, leading to an MBA degree. The program serves mid-career executives who have at least 8-10 years of managerial experience, as well as senior executives who wish to enhance their skills and leadership effectiveness. A majority of their students have an average of 12-15 years of work experience.
Teamwork is the hallmark of the Kellogg Executive MBA (EMBA) experience, both in and out of the classroom.

Senior faculty members also teach courses to senior executives through the Kellogg School’s executive programs. This approach reinforces faculty research and keeps faculty members abreast of changes in corporate practices.

Full Time Program:

The HKUST MBA curriculum is designed to develop your ability to operate successfully in a global economy, and manage effectively in the Asian context. There are two main components: required cores (~60%) and advanced electives (~40%). We also provide three areas of concentration for those who want to specialize.
Required Cores

The required cores cover areas in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Operation Management, Organization Behavior, Strategy, Communications, Business Laws and Ethics. They are arranged in three tiers - foundation function, and integration - to provide a foundation for further study in chosen areas.

Advanced Electives
Advanced electives comprise over 40% of the HKUST MBA curriculum, allowing participants to strengthen their expertise in particular areas of interest.
http://mba.ust.hk/ftmba/adm/requirements.html

Part Time MBA Program:

Part-time MBA core courses are run on Saturdays at the Clearwater Bay campus, usually from 9am to 6pm. Occasionally some elective courses are held in weekday evenings downtown.
The 120 part-time students will be grouped into two sessions, which will be about 60 students.

Executive MBA program:

The Kellogg–HKUST Executive MBA program is a premium educational experience devoted to upgrading executives’ knowledge and management skills. The program encourages participants to think differently, look at their operations in a new way and relentlessly question and challenge.

It is tailor made for senior executives in Asia who have attained positions of leadership in their organizations. It helps them to raise the bar and understand the challenges ahead in a global context.

Organized in short but intensive modules, participants take two courses each month. Courses cut across traditional subject areas, providing tools and techniques for solving complex managerial problems. Emphasis is on three specific areas of management skills:

• Behavior in learning organizations
• International management
• Managing groups of co-operating firms for international competitiveness

International Executive MBA Program:

The International EMBA (IEMBA) program offered by the HKUST Business School, attracts senior executives from Asia, in particular the Greater China area, who, with diverse cultural background and in-depth knowledge of their own unique business environments, exchange their views on topics of common interest while learning from the School's internationally recognized scholars.

The 15-month IEMBA program's classes take place in different locations in China, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan and Shenzhen. It is an inspiring and exciting learning experience that will empower senior executives in Chinese firms or MNCs, with state-of-the-art business and management knowledge that has immediate applications at work.

If you are a senior corporate leader, ready for challenge and on the move to the next level, then the HKUST IEMBA Program will be your best and ultimate choice.

M.Sc in Management:

Four specialized masters’ programs are offered by the School. They are the:
MSc in Economics
MSc in Financial Analysis, Investment Management
MSc in Information Systems Management
MS in Global Finance – in partnership with the NYU Stern School of Business

Ph.D in Management:

The PhD programs are designed to enable students to gain a deep knowledge of management in general, and courses with concentration in a specialized field, and to provide opportunities for the student to do original, fundamental research in his/her specialized field. Thus, the first two years of the programs will normally be devoted to coursework, leading to the major field examination and a research paper. After that, the student will begin to write the thesis.

Each doctoral student works with an academic advisor to design a program of study that reflects the student's interests. Course work requirements depend on the background and areas of concentration of the student. The student must also pass a qualifying examination, then write and orally defend a thesis.

MBA Programmes:
Full Time MBA Programme:
The Full Time MBA programs focus on a broad international approach to train managers, enabling you to manage complex business situations in all kinds of organizations. Their programs place a strong emphasis on enriching managerial skills and a clearly international outlook; you’ll develop strong decision-making skills, an excellent capacity for teamwork and a global perspective. You will come away with a fundamental set of values and a deep sense of social responsibility.
The ESADE MBA is designed so that you can develop management know-how as well as those managerial skills that will be most useful to you in the future. From the very first day, you meet your career advisors and coaches to create a plan based on personal and professional objectives.
The Full-Time MBA reveals business realities in a very practical way. Only a multidisciplinary approach (as opposed to traditional teaching in compartmentalized subjects) can reflect the real business world. The programme is structured in 5 stages and combines core courses with electives, thus ensuring the MBA meets the individual needs of each student.
http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/18month_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG

Part Time MBA Programme:
The Part Time MBA programme is a decisive step forward in a student's career, posing new challenges and opening up exciting opportunities.
The Part Time MBA spurs students' personal development and careers. It also provides management training that gives a global, integrated vision of companies and fosters new business initiatives. One of the features of the programme is the way each student sets his own objectives and limits.
The Part Time MBA is a programme that strikes the right balance between theory and practice, and reflects the complexity of modern management. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted and covers all the functional areas found in companies. The specific training needs of each student are covered at the specialization stage, with over 100 elective courses to choose from.
http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/part_time_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG

The Executive MBA helps develop key abilities - leadership, communication, creativity, enhanced management style, intellectual rigor, and motivation of staff.
The program comprises five stages, avoiding the traditional approach based on "courses" and "management functions". Instead, an integrated approach is used to tackle problems and the most suitable choices made in the light of the company's circumstances.
The business world is a complex one, hence the need for various perspectives when seeking solutions. They strike the right balance between techniques and disciplines, and the practical application of concepts. Each stage of the program includes intensive week to cover a key management and personal development theme. Three of these are held outside ESADE. Two of them are study tours at top business schools in the USA and UK. The third week is dedicated to Outdoor Training activities.

Open Programs:

Custom Programs:
Standard programs cannot always fulfill training requirements. And companies are sometimes faced with the challenge of training not just a few individuals but entire teams. The situation can be further complicated when both these circumstances occur simultaneously.
ESADE Business School Executive Education offers organizations two comprehensive solutions to resolve this problem. Leadership Development Programs (LDP) are totally personalized, designed, and executed in close collaboration with the company and oriented toward building skills.

To this end, ESADE Executive Education does not simply provide services and information, but works as a partner, advising companies on how to meet their training needs within their business environment and based on the organization's global vision.

Executive Masters in Marketing:
You are a marketing manager or a sales manager with ample years of work experience; you graduated some years ago and you think the time has come to fast-forward your competences and skills. Too busy accumulating significant experience in managing marketing and sales activities, you did not have the time to critically reflect on your experience and to compare it with that of others.

However, you believe that market orientation is a must for any company, and that sound knowledge is the pillar on which to build a successful career. You have drive, you have ambition, you have already developed a successful career, but now you want to make a leap forward. The executive master in marketing & sales (emms) is ideal for energetic, forward-looking young executives who want to reach out and acquire a global mindset.
