    Course Outline

    This is a 1 year program for most students. If taken at part time, though, it can last for up to 3 years. It can result in a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert), Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) or a full MBA degree.

    If you complete all three modules under the PgCert category successfully, you can exit with that qualification. Alternatively you can stay on for a higher degree award. Completion of at least three of the modules listed under PgDip will make you eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma. At that level, you’ll need to decide on either the MBA Global or MBA Global Finance pathways.

    If you continue on to the full MBA level, via either pathway, you’ll need to complete either a 60 credit Dissertation or a 60 credit Corporate Placement Project.

    PgCert Modules:

    • Critical Perspectives in Strategic Leadership and Management
    • Global Strategic Operations, Markets and Resources
