The first part consists of 11 modules taken over 15 months, and the second part consists of one module, Business Skills and Negotiations, and a thesis. For the thesis, you will propose a research project related to your organisation or a relevant subject and work closely with an academic supervisor to complete.

The course is highly interactive and student-centred with large elements of teamwork, group projects and private study.

To summarise, the structure comprises:

Months 1-15: 11 compulsory modules.
