Fees and Discounts - Beds MBA (Executive MBA / Full-Time MBA)

What you pay for the Beds MBA

These are the tuition fees and payment rules for the two MBA programmes at the University of Bedfordshire Business School in Luton, UK. The figures below are what the course costs, plus the discounts and loan options that can lower it. This is not a scholarship.

Executive MBA (part-time, 2 years): the full fee for UK (Home) students is about 20,500 EUR (GBP 17,350) for the 2026/27 intake. It covers all tuition, tutor and admin support, access to the BREO online learning portal, and all university student services. There are currently no discounts on this course.

Full-Time MBA (up to 15 months): the full fee is about 18,200 EUR (GBP 15,400) for UK (Home) students and about 22,300 EUR (GBP 18,900) for international students, for 2026/27. International students can get a discount for paying early. The amount depends on your country.

If you pay for the Executive MBA yourself, you pay 65% of the fee when you enrol in October, then four equal monthly instalments by direct debit. Self-funding students on both courses can also apply for a UK government Postgraduate Loan. If you take the MBA at one of the university's partner centres abroad, different fees apply and you deal with the local centre.

Who can apply

• Where you study: On campus in Luton, UK, or at a partner centre abroad.
• Nationality: Open to UK and international applicants. Fees differ by status.
• Degree: For the Executive MBA you normally need an honours degree in any subject. You can still get in without a degree if you have strong management experience.
• Work experience: The Executive MBA needs at least two years in a management role, meaning you lead staff or hold budget or resource responsibility. It targets experienced managers such as heads of department, senior managers and directors.

How to apply

For the Executive MBA, first contact the MBA Office for an informal talk with the Programme Director. Then request, complete and hand in the paper application form. Courses begin in October, and you can be accepted up to a week before the start.

How realistic are your chances?

This is a paid course, not a competitive award, so there is no selection pool to beat. If you meet the entry requirements, admission depends on your background rather than on grades. The main thing to plan is the cost: budget for the full fee, and check whether a Postgraduate Loan or the international early-payment discount can reduce it.
