This MBA is an innovative, part time distance e-learning Masters degree ‘top-up’ programme. The programme begins with ‘taught’ e-learning chapters within the module covering Advanced Techniques in Research Methods, Project Management and Leadership and Statistics. This includes evaluation of literature, data analysis, statistical and modelling techniques; along with planning, writing and presenting a complex research project. The e-learning course materials for these lectures are delivered through MLA’s Total Learning Package (TLP), which can be downloaded to a variety of platforms, including tablets, smart phones and computers. Using cutting-edge technology, the TLP is fully functional whether the device is connected to the internet or not, which enables students to study successfully in any location across the globe. The TLP adds considerable value to lecture material with formative testing, transcripts and learning support materials.
The MBA work based research project provides an exciting opportunity for students to undertake a specific 60 credit dissertation module combining practical and academic research work in which they demonstrate the acquisition of the knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities appropriate to the award of the MBA degree – namely the QAA subject benchmarks and SEEC level descriptors. Students are actively encouraged to, identify a suitable project topic and explore ideas with the MBA supervisory team and then plan the work programme as early as possible.
