MBA Artificial Intelligence: Shape Tomorrow from Shanghai, China

From Shanghai, China, you can prepare to lead in an AI-driven world without putting your career or life on hold. The MBA Artificial Intelligence, offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Cumbria and Robert Kennedy College, brings business leadership and AI-focused learning together. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied internationally, wherever your ambitions take you.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

Graduating with a British degree from the University of Cumbria can help you present your qualifications with confidence across borders. It is an opportunity to build on your experience while gaining a credential recognised internationally.

Whether you hope to progress within your organisation, explore new markets or take on broader responsibilities, an internationally recognised degree can be a valuable part of your professional story.

Complete your MBA 100% online in as little as one year

Ambition does not have to wait for a move abroad. You can complete the programme entirely online while continuing to live and work in Shanghai, with the possibility of finishing in as little as one year.

That flexibility makes it easier to connect your studies with your goals. You can develop new perspectives on management and AI while remaining engaged in the work and relationships that matter to you.

Study without scheduled online attendance

Your working day may not follow a predictable timetable. The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, so you can decide when to engage with lectures and study materials.

Instead of planning your life around live classes, you can build a study routine that works alongside professional commitments and personal responsibilities. You will still need to plan for coursework deadlines, but you have flexibility in when you study.

Keep learning wherever life takes you

Your studies can travel with you. Whether you are at home in Shanghai, visiting another city or working while on the move, the online programme lets you access your learning from wherever you are.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period without a reliable connection can become an opportunity to keep making progress.

Show your thinking through open-book assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you room to engage with ideas, consult relevant materials and develop considered responses.

For an MBA focused on Artificial Intelligence, the ability to analyse information and make reasoned decisions is especially valuable. Open-book assessment encourages you to demonstrate how you use what you have learned, not simply what you can recall under exam conditions.

Learn with faculty shaped by world-renowned universities

Your learning is supported by tutors and faculty whose academic backgrounds include universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Studying with educators who bring varied academic perspectives can challenge assumptions and broaden the way you approach leadership. Their guidance can help you connect strategic ideas with the decisions organisations face as AI evolves.

Join a genuinely international learning community

Students from more than 130 countries bring different professional experiences and perspectives to the learning environment. For someone studying from Shanghai, that diversity offers a way to examine business and technology challenges through an international lens.

Alumni work for international organisations including Tencent, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Siemens, Sony, IBM, Verizon, Dell, Accenture, Sinopec, JKFZ Cambridge International School, RYB Educations, CNOOC, Petrochina, AIA, ICBC Standard Bank, ICBC Bank, SAIC, the United Nations, ICRC and The World Bank.

Plan your investment with monthly instalments

Taking the next step in your education is an important decision. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, giving you a way to spread the cost over time.

That payment structure can help you plan your budget while you continue working toward your qualification. You can focus on making steady progress through the programme and toward your longer-term goals.

Connect your ambitions with Shanghai’s industries

Shanghai’s financial services sector offers opportunities to think about how AI may support analysis, customer experiences, risk management and operational decisions. For graduates working in banking, insurance or related fields, combining management knowledge with an understanding of AI can support more informed conversations about innovation and responsible implementation.

The city is also a centre for advanced manufacturing, automotive activity and technology. In these sectors, leaders may need to evaluate opportunities involving automation, supply chains, product development and data-informed decision-making. The programme can help graduates approach such questions from a strategic business perspective.

Shanghai’s role in trade, logistics and international business creates further possibilities for professionals who can connect technology with organisational goals. Whether you want to contribute to an established company or develop a new direction for your career, the MBA can help you frame AI-related opportunities with a broader, internationally applicable outlook.
