Course content

Our two year, part-time programme is delivered in a flexible online format that allows you to study at a time that suits you.

You’ll access online lectures, projects and peer-learning through The Business School Hub, our award-winning educational technology which provides a dynamic and flexible online experience.

Through The Hub, you’ll have access to a variety of interactive learning activities such as video content, live sessions, discussions, polls and case studies, and you’ll be able to download, edit, annotate and share files and notes in a simple and effective way.

You’ll belong to time zone based virtual syndicates and will be expected to undertake some group work and ‘live presentations’ and interactions with academics to provide some of the classroom experience of an MBA.
