Course structure

The MBA (full-time) is divided into two stages. Stage One lasts one semester and consists of seven modules, which give a solid grounding in all the key business functions. Stage Two has a strategic emphasis and consists of five modules and a dissertation.

Stage One modules are:

Stage Two relates the material of Stage One to major strategic issues.

The dissertation is a major piece of work of approximately 15,000 words, based on research into an organisation or industry. The Research Methods module in Stage Two of the course prepares you for this.

Assessment

Assessments vary according to the nature of each module. Typically there are group reports, group presentations, individual reports and examinations.
