Our MBA Capital Markets and Finance programme has been specifically developed with working professionals in mind. This 12-month fully distance learning programme begins with ‘taught’ e-learning chapters covering advanced techniques in research methods, project management, leadership, and statistics.
These are delivered through MLA Colleges Total Learning Package (TLP) which can be downloaded onto your computer so can be accessed offline. Students will blend their practical and academic research work and be able to fully demonstrate their knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities, during their 60 credit MBA dissertation module. The duration of this programme is 12 months; however, the flexible delivery allows students to study at their own pace, meaning that it may be possible to submit within a shorter or longer timeframe.
The programme offers one core MBA award with the option of subject specialism pathways, resulting in the following pathway titles being available:

Whilst we deliver our programmes from a distance, that doesn’t mean we expect you to achieve everything without a friendly voice to guide you. Our expert team of academics are on hand to support you throughout your studies, whenever you need them the most.
