  • If you are studying part-time, you may opt to undertake between 2 and 4 courses per year.  
  • The modes of delivery may vary from topic to topic. Some topics may need more practical problem solving than others. Depending on the nature of the topic, more emphasis may be placed on practical activities relating to the concept being learnt and its application to real world business administration. As a result, the lecturer-led sessions of the programme are loaded with group work, discussions, case studies and potential role plays. Comparative analysis of theory and current practices is also a common mode of delivery used. 
  • Delivery methods may vary throughout every course in order to satisfy the requirements of each topic and learning needs of students as much as possible. 
  • You are also expected to carry out directed and independent learning activities including further reading, assignments, problem solving and research for discussions during the contact sessions.
