Modular
Blocks of classes spread over the year
There are five on-campus blocks (6 days each) spread over a single year. The first four blocks run from Monday to Saturday. The last block runs from Saturday to Saturday. This allows you to study while you work in a way that is convenient to you.

Blended learning:
Attend class from
anywhere in the
world!
The blended learning format allows you to join the class either via an internet-linked device, or on campus. Online classes are delivered synchronously with on-campus classes.
USB’s high-tech classrooms allow the lecturers to see, in real time, the faces of all the online students portrayed onto a screen or class room wall. This virtual environment enables you to actively participate in classroom discussions – whether you are logging in from an airport in Europe, a boardroom in Africa or your office at home.
