Its structure lets students tailor their interests and focus on different business areas, while ensuring a sound knowledge of the theory, principles and applications of the major disciplines. There are three semesters per year, and if you take two subjects per semester the course will be complete after four years. In comparison, on-campus students take four subjects in each of two semesters per year, and their studies take three years. Distance learning students are usually employed and have several years of working experience. From time to time optional classes are held during the weekend, however most study is off-campus.
Students working within organisations are able to relate their learning to their own experience.
The course is demanding and the quality is high. However, admission requirements are set so that all well-motivated students have an excellent chance of succeeding. Incoming students must have demonstrated an ability to cope with advanced studies, perhaps a number of years ago.
