FMA Members Step Into Class for Day 1 of MBA

The 17th September 2013 became something of a landmark in the facilities management industry as experienced facilities managers entered the classroom to embark on the MBA in FM for FMA members, a new collaboration between Sheffield Business School at Sheffield Hallam University and the Facilities Management Association (FMA) to deliver Sheffield Business School’s existing MBA in FM specifically for FMA member organisations.

The MBA in FM will see 18 students from a variety of FMA member companies study for the qualification on a blended learning basis primarily comprised of independent study with 20 days tuition in London over the three-year course period. 

The MBA in FM is one of the major recognised benchmark qualifications for senior managers in a wide range of disciplines and those progressing onto this particular MBA course for FMA members will have already completed the FMA Certificate Course. The MBA allows students to continue in their current job role whilst studying, with the aim of contributing to bridging the education gap in the FM sector.

Richard Sykes, FMA Chairman, commented: “It’s excellent that the FMA and Sheffield Business School at Sheffield Hallam are offering such a representative and important qualification for the FM industry, especially given the tough economic climate. Our industry needs to offer both development and education at all levels and this MBA offers opportunities that previously did not exist for FMA members in London. It is another positive step in ensuring we develop our sectors’ future leaders.”

Recruitment for next year has begun. For details visit
