Flexible learning formats
The one-year PGDip BMA is offered in two formats – Blended Learning and Modular. Both formats are perfect for studying while you work. While each format is an immersive and unique learning experience, the programme content of the two formats is the same.
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.
