Structure and content
The Master of Business Administration programme consists of four Quarters. Each of these Quarters covers the key building blocks of the MBA course: economics, finance, accountancy, human resources, marketing, strategy and entrepreneurship. You receive a broad-based education and go increasingly deeper into the subject matter.
Study load
The full-time version lasts one year, with a minimum of five days of lessons per week. In total, you spend forty to sixty hours a week on the MBA. In the part-time version, you attend lectures a minimum of two evenings a week and must take into account a time investment of fifteen to twenty hours. You work in groups, attend lectures and prepare individual assignments. The following is the prior academic year's curriculum scheme. The curriculum for 2012-2013 will loosely follow these basic guidelines. The new curriculum scheme will be available beginning in September 2012.
