Teaching and Assessment

How you’ll learn

The course is delivered in an interactive way with a real-world focus and learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom environment. Workshop contact hours are used to facilitate class case discussions and practical activities, including simulations and the use of other business tools. Face-to-face learning is supported by online resources, including business journals, case studies, simulations, learning videos, reading materials, online testing and feedback.

Assessment

Assessments are designed to meet the programme and module learning outcomes and are both formative and summative. The formative assessments include the preparation and feedback from teaching sessions such as seminars, workshops, tests and presentations. The summative assessments may include class participation, group projects or presentations, individual presentations and portfolios.

Group work is a key component of assessment for most modules in the MBA, as employers have identified effective groupwork as a key skill for effective management.

Ten of the modules are shared with all students studying an MBA degree. Two of the modules are specific to the pathway, and one module is an elective.

Students will be timetabled for teaching on campus up to three days a week.

Full-time with Professional Practice students: The first year will be identical to the one-year course variation. The second year consists of a work placement or a year doing a dissertation, business project, consultancy project or business plan.
