Full-time MBA Our 12-month programme is intense, fast- paced and captivating. With international travel, unlimited coaching, in-depth work with leading companies, and a peer group from a range of different industry sectors and cultures, our Full-time MBA participants will grow both personally and academically. Alongside lectures, seminars, group exercises, case studies and projects, they will have the opportunity to participate in one of the most innovative learning experiences available. Some of our Full-time MBA participants have joined us with the aim of setting up or developing an existing business venture. Many have gone on to do remarkable things, from bringing safe bio-fuel to homes in South Africa to setting up a digital platform for enabling easier tendering processes. We offer students the opportunity to specialise their MBA within entrepreneurship or social and environmental sustainability, where two elective modules and a final capstone project will focus on their chosen specialist area. Our participants will also have at least two opportunities to work on client-based projects during their year with us, enabling them to gain practical consultancy, stakeholder management and influencing skills through direct experience. These can be used as a route into new sectors and industries. We will also introduce them to companies, such as Microsoft, Ford and HSBC, through recruiter events, student projects and teaching support.
