Warwick Business School Warwick Business School (WBS) is a large, dynamic and thriving triple accredited school at the University of Warwick, and our vision is to be Europe’s leading University-based Business School. Our work is based on our drive to develop cutting edge research, to provide a transformational learning experience and to work in partnership with policy and practice. Our programmes continue to perform strongly in a diverse range of national and international rankings. In 2014, we officially opened WBS London, our inspirational teaching space on the 17th floor at The Shard, based at the heart of the London Bridge Quarter, where we offer part- time MBAs, a DBA and Executive Education programmes. In 2018 our presence at The Shard grew further to include space on the 13th floor. The University of Warwick The University of Warwick is a modern, world-class campus-based university located at the heart of the United Kingdom, on the outskirts of Coventry – the UK’s City of Culture for 2021. The University’s location means that you will be well connected to the major towns and cities of the UK and will be able to enjoy the countryside of Warwickshire. There is a lot of information on the University’s main website which will tell you about the University, our campus and our thriving multicultural community: W warwick.ac.uk/about/visiting/region W warwick.ac.uk/engagement/ campuscommunity As a campus-based university, you will have immediate access to a range of social, sporting and cultural opportunities to make your time at Warwick as enjoyable and as fulfilling as possible. W warwick.ac.uk/about/campus Studying at WBS As an exchange student, you will have access to modules spanning a broad range of topics and subjects offered at our main campus in Warwick and at our London base in The Shard. You will principally study with our Part- time MBA participants from 105 countries, and WBS alumni also have the opportunity to take some of our MBA modules, meaning you will have immediate access to a diverse network of peers and professions.
Modules are block taught across 4 days (Wednesday - Saturday) for Warwick based modules, or 2+2 days (Friday - Saturday on non-consecutive weeks) for London based modules. For modules taken in term 3, you will have the option to also study with our Full-time MBA participants on bespoke modules. Whatever module(s) you choose to take, you will be expected to study for 100 hours per module which is broadly broken down into 30 hours of pre-reading four weeks prior to teaching, 27 hours of class-based activities and 43 hours working on the assessment. The majority of the modules will be assessed by an individual and group assignment. You will be briefed on the assessment for your selected module(s) when you start. As a full member of the class you will be expected to attend all scheduled teaching sessions and actively contribute to all group work and discussions. All assessed work is marked out of 100% and the pass mark for all MBA modules is 50%. You will be able to download a transcript of your marks from my.wbs – the School’s online learning environment – once you have completed your studies. All modules are 10 credits (CATs) which equates to 5 ECTS. The class size will vary depending on the module you study, ranging from 15 to 60. Depending on your choice of module(s) you may be taught on a Saturday and/or Sunday. In addition to your chosen modules, you will have the opportunity to attend a range of talks and presentations by guest speakers from business and industry. Details of these will be posted on my.wbs.
