When Mathias Javangwe-Nomboka was challenged with creating a podcast for his online MBA, it was, as he says, “a real step outside my comfort zone”. An assistant audit manager, he’d spent most of his career in finance. Now, he was collaborating with classmates in Canada and the UAE to produce a podcast for a healthcare business. “I’m from accounting; an auditor. I’d never done anything like this before,” he says.
Javangwe-Nomboka’s assignment illustrates the forward-thinking ethos of the University of Birmingham’s online MBA, a two-year programme which is triple crown accredited (a mark of excellence shared by only 149 business schools) and ranked among the world’s top 15 online MBAs by the Financial Times.
