MBA Professional Practice in Sunderland United Kingdom | University of Sunderland

The MBA (Professional Practice) is a structured program that includes a year-long work placement. Gaining a placement is competitive, and we'll guide you through every step from application to interview.

While we assist with placement opportunities, if you aren't successful, we'll facilitate a switch to the standard MBA program. This includes the option to pursue a Postgraduate Certificate in Human Resource Management or Digital Marketing and Analytics as a complimentary additional qualification, allowing you to complete both within two years.

Our specialized placements team maintains strong ties with employers across the region and nationally. They help students apply for roles in diverse fields such as marketing, HR, finance, operations, and supply-chain management each year.

The University actively supports students in obtaining placements or work experience. Past students have secured positions with major organizations like Nissan, Caterpillar, and Fujitsu, as well as smaller innovative companies across public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
