To graduate with an MBA you must successfully complete 180 points, made up of core papers (135 points) and elective papers (45 points).
You can choose how many papers you take per term to fit around work demands and personal commitments, provided you complete the qualification within four years. You can continue working full-time while completing your MBA part-time.
All papers are 7.5 points each unless stated otherwise. Each paper involves six weeks of class learning; one three-hour class per week. This is followed by an examination week then a one-week preparation period for the following term. You can start the MBA at any one of the six terms.
Textbooks are included in your course fees.
