Introduction

The University of Chichester, UK

• Lectures – 100 Students to 1 Lecturer
• Tutorials – 35 Students to 1 Tutor

Course Delivery

This programme is available in full time mode and will take 12 months to complete. Students will attend 3 semesters of academic study and are expected to complete between 30 credits to 45 credits each semester. Full-time students will attend classes 5 days a week on weekdays.

Course Structure: UOC Master of Business Administration

Much of the learning and the assignment in the MBA will be in the form of projects, mainly centered around work of the students – Action Learning Pedagogy. It is important to draw a picture of what these might look like, appreciating that clarity will only fully come in the conversations when you are planning these out with the Faculty and work colleagues. Learning is better achieved in smaller clearly defined project work where students can explore inter-connected themes at play with, for example, strategy, leadership culture etc.
