Our Online Global MBA course consists of ten 15-credit taught modules and one 30-credit individual consultancy project. The 15-credit modules run in pairs and consist of seven weeks of teaching followed by three weeks to complete the assessment. The summative 30-credit individual consultancy project is a standalone module, completed over ten weeks. The scheduled programme duration of our distance learning MBA is two years, but there are options to slow down or speed up your studies to fit around your other commitments such as your work, personal or family life.

You may choose to complete the programme on a module-by-module basis. However, all students need to complete the introductory Contemporary Issues in the Global Business Environment module as their first module since this module provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges and trends in the global business landscape. It will serve as a foundation for the rest of the program equipping students with the necessary knowledge and skills to tackle complex business issues.

The programme is delivered as distance learning and will include a range of online materials including learning materials, videos, independent and group activities. This flexible format allows students to access the course materials and participate in discussions at their own convenience, making it ideal for working professionals or those with busy schedules. Additionally, our online platform provides opportunities for students to collaborate with classmates from around the world, fostering a diverse and global learning experience. Throughout the programme, you will be expected to undertake substantial independent study.

Upon completion of the first 120 credits, you will progress onto the final 60 credits of the Online Global MBA course where you will develop the skills required to undertake the independent consultancy project, usually on behalf of your organisation.
