The triple accredited (AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB) Programme will be developed and delivered by Strathclyde Business School academics. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive a University of Strathclyde degree. In return for a percentage of the programme fee, the delivery partner will - with the support and direction of Strathclyde Business School Glasgow campus staff - administer the programme locally. Primary responsibilities include the provision of suitable facilities from which to operate and staff to recruit and market the programme. The partner will also financially administer the programme including the collection of tuition fees and provide local pastoral and learning support to the students. This centre will assist SBS in the local delivery of the MBA programme but the potential exists for supporting delivery of other postgraduate and executive education programmes in the future. To assist in a market scoping exercise SBS would like to invite expressions of interest from organisations or individuals who are based in Kazakhstan and could see themselves as suitable partners to deliver this initiative. Experience of managing higher education programmes, managing the operations of an educational establishment/ centre or familiarity of how international academic centre operation is managed is essential.
