MBA Innovation Leadership and Consulting: Lead from Shanghai, China
Build your next chapter without leaving Shanghai. The MBA Innovation Leadership and Consulting is delivered online in an exclusive partnership between York St John University and Robert Kennedy College. It brings together ideas in innovation, leadership and consulting that you can apply across industries and international markets.
Earn an internationally recognised British degree
A British MBA can help you present your achievements to employers, clients and collaborators beyond China. It offers a qualification with international recognition while allowing you to continue building your career in Shanghai.
As you explore new responsibilities or cross-border opportunities, the degree can complement the experience you already have. You can study ambitious ideas and put them to work in the professional setting you know best.
Complete your MBA 100% online in as little as one year
The programme is fully online, so relocating or commuting to a campus need not be part of your plan. With focused study, it can be completed in as little as one year.
That flexibility makes it possible to pursue a substantial academic goal alongside work and personal commitments. Your time to completion will depend on your pace, but the path forward can begin right where you are.
Study without fixed online attendance times
You do not need to be online at specific times or dates to attend classes. Whether your working day includes early meetings or calls with colleagues abroad, you can choose study times that fit your schedule.
This flexibility lets you engage with lectures and materials when you are ready to concentrate. Instead of arranging your life around a timetable, you can develop a sustainable routine of your own.
Keep learning wherever you go
Your studies can travel with you, whether you are at home in Shanghai, visiting another city or working abroad. Online delivery gives you the freedom to stay connected to the programme from anywhere in the world.
The mobile app also lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period with limited connectivity need not interrupt the momentum you have built.
Apply ideas through open-book assessments
Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. You can draw on course materials as you develop and communicate your responses.
This approach gives you room to engage with concepts and consider how they inform decisions. It is an opportunity to demonstrate your thinking, not simply what you can recall under exam conditions.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
The programme’s tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds contribute to a broad learning experience.
As you examine leadership challenges and approaches to innovation, you can benefit from perspectives shaped by different institutions and disciplines. Those perspectives can help you question assumptions and strengthen your own judgement.
Join a community spanning more than 130 countries
Studying alongside people from over 130 countries can broaden the way you see organisational challenges. Different professional and cultural perspectives offer fresh ways to discuss ideas with fellow students.
The wider alumni community includes people working for international organisations such as Tencent, ICBC Bank, ICBC Standard Bank, AIA, Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, RYB Education, JKFZ Cambridge International School, SAIC, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Siemens and Sony.
Plan your payments with monthly instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 interest-free monthly instalments. This option gives you a way to spread payments over time as you plan your studies.
With a clearer payment schedule, you can consider how an MBA fits alongside your other commitments. It is one more way to make an ambitious goal easier to organise around everyday life.
Bring new possibilities to your career in Shanghai
Shanghai’s finance and professional-services sectors bring together established institutions, growing businesses and international relationships. The programme’s focus on leadership and consulting can help you think through change, communicate recommendations and guide teams facing complex decisions.
In technology and digital commerce, new products and ways of working can reshape expectations quickly. Studying innovation can give you frameworks for evaluating opportunities and leading initiatives, whether your work involves a platform business, a technology team or an organisation adapting to digital change.
Shanghai is also a centre for manufacturing, automotive activity, trade and logistics. Across these sectors, you may find opportunities to apply what you learn to collaboration, transformation and the introduction of new ideas. Because the programme’s theories can be applied internationally, your learning can remain relevant as your ambitions extend beyond the city.
