The programme is largely delivered online, in conjunction with short residential learning periods on campus which give you the opportunity to network and meet your classmates. An experienced online team has built a course packed with engaging multimedia content and opportunities to collaborate with other students. Here is an example of the format that the distance learning may take. With part-time and full-time options, it is highly flexible so you can live at home and study in evenings and weekends alongside your work. Course structure With two entry points per year the course can be studied full-time over one year or part-time over two years. Eight modules as well as a final project will be completed during the course; giving you the opportunity to choose an applied project related to a business opportunity or assignment dissertation based on a topic of specific interest. There will be plenty of academic support during residentials and during distance learning, where you’ll discuss, challenge and create through group discussion and forums. Coaching will be available to all MBA students. This provides a unique opportunity for participants' personal and professional development in drawing on methods such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Analytic-Network Coaching System. To support development, enable reflection, and to evaluate application of coaching insights to organisational life, each participant will have a 'coaching credit' system comprising coaching hours to be used by the participant according to context and need. Coaching sessions will be face-to-face, by email, telephone or via Skype or a similar messaging platform. You will also be invited to participate in at least one additional enhancement week. This optional programme, not linked to a specific module, will include farm and site visits as well as invited speakers to help students consolidate and apply their learning. This will be particularly valuable for full time residential and international students.
