Ashridge Business School, one of only 1% of business schools worldwide to be approved by US, European and UK MBA accrediting bodies is located in the English countryside just outside of London. Its activities include open and tailored executive education programmes, MBA, MSc and Diploma qualifications, organisation consulting, applied research and online learning.

Ashridge faculty comprises of both business professionals and consultants, who bring, academic rigour, in-depth industry experience and latest management practice to the design and teaching of executive education.

At Ashridge, we believe all learning must make a difference, be practical and be based on the real issues faced by companies, public sector organisations and individual managers. The online Ashridge Masters in Management is designed to encourage managers to learn and develop more effective ways of thinking and to apply leading-edge management tools and concepts to their daily work.

The virtual nature of this programme enables participants to access it from anywhere in the world, at any time, and without the cost, environmental impact or inconvenience of travelling. It also means that an organisation does not suffer the cost of an employee's absence for study for extended periods of time.

The program's resources are delivered through an easy to use, online virtual environment, called the Learning Zone. It's packed full of learning material such as articles from thought leaders, material created especially for this qualification by Ashridge tutors, plus all the material usually available through the Ashridge Virtual Learning Resource Centre.

There are no examinations. Instead, the program is assessed by assignments and a project, which are all work-based. These work based assignments allow you to immediately apply your learning to make a measurable impact to your daily work and increase your knowledge of your organisation.
