The world's most flexible MBA programme
This is your MBA. Not ours. That means you start when you like and finish when you like. You can study from home or on campus. At EBS, our courses are designed to fit round you.
Programme structure
There are seven core courses in the MBA programme. You then take two elective courses, chosen from a list of more than 30. Each course requires approximately 200 hours of study. Some electives are available as taught courses; others can be taken through distance learning.
In the part-time Master of Business Administration, you spend most of the year studying from your own home, then you come together with your fellow students for a number of 4-day intensive seminars and 2-day revision sessions.
Cohorts of executives from major corporations have attended the highly regarded part-time 'consortium' programme that forms the model for our part-time MBA programme. These include: Agilent Technologies, Dawson International, Ernst & Young (Italy), Hewlett-Packard, Lloyds TSB, Pearson Education, the NHS, Scottish Widows and Scottish Power.
After completing three courses, you are eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six courses for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration. The certificate and diploma awards are formal recognition of your progress; they can also be used as exit awards. Specialist awards are available at MBA level depending on your choice of courses.
