Programme Structure
The MBA has been designed to meet the objectives of a modern online management degree with maximum flexibility, allowing students to tailor the experience to their personal learning style and career goals. The programme is structured into two stages:
Induction (Introductory – Not for Credit)
Your journey begins with an orientation module designed to familiarise you with the online learning environment, academic expectations, and support services. This self-paced module carries no credits but ensures you are confident with the tools, style of study, and resources available.
Stage 1 – Six Taught Modules (120 Credits)
All students complete the following compulsory modules, carefully curated to cover the key areas of modern management:
-
Organisational Behaviour
Explores the foundations of management thinking, the dynamics of people within organisations, and the evolution of management theory. Students analyse real-world experiences to build a framework for understanding organisational behaviour and management practice. -
Essentials of Risk Management
Examines the principles, functions, and practical applications of risk management in global business contexts. Students evaluate best practices, strategies for minimising risk, and case studies that demonstrate how organisations navigate uncertainty. -
Digital Marketing
Provides a deep dive into the challenges of digital marketing, e-commerce, and consumer behaviour in online environments. Students apply modern theories and industry practices to create strategies that drive digital business success. -
Applied Leadership
Focuses on leadership and organisational culture, exploring how leaders shape teams, decision-making, and performance in international business. Real-world case studies and team-based exercises bring theory into practice. -
Sustainable Finance
Introduces environmental, social, ethical, and governance (ESG) perspectives in finance. Students examine sustainable approaches to assets, debts, insurance, derivatives, and currencies, from both private and public-sector viewpoints. -
Strategic Management
Develops the ability to navigate complex strategic challenges, select and apply conceptual tools, and critically evaluate organisational issues. Students enhance their problem-solving, analysis, and communication skills while mastering strategy development.
Stage 2 – Business Project (60 Credits)
In place of a traditional dissertation, students complete an applied business project. This involves identifying a relevant business challenge, selecting appropriate analytical methods, and conducting original research. The project bridges theory and practice, offering tangible impact for your current organisation or serving as a launchpad for a new venture.
