About this course
This programme starts in April 2016 and lasts 21 months. First year attendance is held over one long weekend a month from April to January (Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning). The second year includes varied attendance based on choice of electives, the Global Experience Week and a final project. Attendance requirements vary, depending on which electives are chosen. There are a total of 24 attendance days during the electives. An important aspect of the Weekend MBA Programme is that students are expected to work effectively as a member of a syndicate group comprising five to six students. The work carried out by the syndicate contributes to the assessed coursework requirements.
All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful.

You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...
