ABOUT UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER
The University of Leicester was one of the first Universities to offer Distance Learning courses. Opened in 1921, it was formally granted its Royal Charter 30 years later. The site for the University was donated by businessman Thomas Johnson as a World War I living memorial for the locals who made sacrifices, reflected in their motto Ut vitam habeant – ‘so that they may have life’.
A winner of the Queen’s Anniversary award, over the course of its history the University has consistently ranked in the top 2% of educational institutions worldwide.

Online MBA - Finance
The University of Leicester and Stafford Associates was recommended by a friend and former student. It’s a well structured course requiring a lot of hard work from the students. The staff and lecturers of Stafford have gone an extra mile to ensure that I was able to complete the MBA programme successfully. Ever since I graduated in MBA Finance I’ve had an edge over other IT consultants as I am able to seamlessly translate IT technical language to business language and reach out to the senior and top manager of organizations and for this I’m thankful for the knowledge imparted by Stafford Associates.
