"I chose this MBA programme based on three criteria: flexibility, popularity and range of programmes available. The specialism in HRM was perfect for me, and I liked that this programme did not require me to submit periodic assignments, only self-study and examinations as frequently as my work schedule would permit. This was important to me. I was able to schedule my exams according to how heavy my workload was and pace my personal study schedule to suit.

Good programme, great flexibility, with online and electronic study resources to help me along the way."

If you choose the self-study route, you may complete the degree at a pace that best suits your needs and circumstances. Most self-study students sit three examinations per year, spread over two exam intakes. This means it would take an average of three years to complete the MBA programme or even less if you have exemptions. You have a maximum of seven years to complete the programme from the time of taking your first exam.
