Modular

MBA – English

The modular MBA is a block release programme that enables business executives to attend lectures without infringing too much upon their work obligations, irrespective of where they live. Students attend 1 orientation block and 10 study blocks of classes spread over three years and finish their research reports during the third year. Graduation usually takes place in March after the completion of the three years. Two of the three modular MBA programmes at the USB are presented in English. The one English programme commences in January while a second one commences in June.

The structure and content of the Modular course is identical to that of the Full-time and Part-time courses.
