Stage 4 MBA

1. The MBA direct programme requires the student to have or to obtain a minimum of two years management experience. Those who have acquired an appropriate range of management competencies, as assessed by the submission of their management competency report, may choose to write an MBA instead of an MSc dissertation and thus complete their MBA in approximately 12 months full time/two years part time
2. Those students, with no such prior experience who have completed their MSc, may subsequently, normally within a two year period, submit, with mentor supervision, two reports based on experiential learning experience in the workplace. The successful completion of these reports enables them to replace their MSc qualification with an MBA.
