What our students say Ashley Gresh / USA / MBA with sequential MA Media Communications / Graduate

I chose to study here because I was able to obtain an American MBA and sequential MA while living in London – a city rich with cultural diversity. The school has students from all over the globe and provides exposure to a variety of cultures and perspectives. Obtaining an American degree abroad is an excellent preparation for a globalised work environment, and my sequential degree has further developed and strengthened my skills.

Matteo Migliori / Italy / MA International Business / Graduate

I was looking for a programme that would give me the flexibility to start my MA at different times of the year, an international environment and a high standard of education.

I found all I was looking for here. No other college can you give you such a multicultural environment and professional education in an amazing central London campus.

Kimberly Ferruzzi / USA / MA International Non-Governmental Organisations with sequential MBA / Graduate

Studying here lets me learn from my professors as well as my peers.You’re both challenged and supported by the small class sizes and curriculum, and gain a different perspective from fellow students who come from all over the world. The classroom atmosphere is great – professors encourage you to speak up and participate, and always welcome questions.

Felix Kramer / Germany / MA Management & Leadership / Graduate

I was attracted by the opportunity of gaining an American postgrad degree in London. When I visited the campus for the first time I realised immediately that this would be a great place to study: beautiful location, international atmosphere, really nice, helpful staff and modern facilities.

Mackenzie Hussman / USA / MA Marketing

I’d definitely recommend the college – as soon as you enter the campus you know this is a quality institution. The facilities are excellent and everyone’s always really helpful and accessible, which was very important to me when I first moved to London. If you’re looking to continue your education, want to make life-long connections and gain a real sense of belonging, I urge you to apply here.

Lilach Shapira / Israel / MBA / Graduate

The experience of learning in a diverse group of nationalities provided me with a better understanding of different cultures. It was really amazing to share your thoughts and opinions with such interesting people – this colourful blend of cultures is the recipe for intellectual synergy. It’s been a privilege to study in such an exceptional environment, and I feel well-prepared to tackle real-world business challenges.

Guido Haus / Germany / MA Management & Leadership with sequential MS Finance / Graduate

The Management & Leadership programme not only equipped me with theoretical knowledge but also pushed me to develop my own leadership skills. The advantage here is the combination of learning about the bigger picture while studying in a smaller, more intimate environment.

You definitely graduate as a well-prepared global citizen.

Gina Bucciero / USA / MA Marketing / Graduate

London is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. The campus is really beautiful and is right in the heart of the city, so classes can be supplemented with visits, tours and talks. I get to experience real diversity in my classes and really enjoy the structure of the eight-week semesters.

Much of the study is self-driven, making me more independent on both an academic and personal level.

MBA PART-TIME

The part-time MBA programme has been designed to meet the demands of executives and managers who wish to enhance their career through academic achievement without taking a career break.

Only a few practising managers can leave the business world for full-time study. This programme will enable you to gain the benefits of an MBA while applying your new knowledge in the workplace.

Evening classes We offer evening study, Monday to Friday, at our convenient central London location in Regent’s Park.

Experience has shown that building classes into the working week enables students to make a greater commitment to their studies, and generates a higher completion rate than weekend programmes.

How it works You must complete a total of 12 classes to achieve the 36 credit hours required for the MBA (see page 20). Students wishing to achieve an MBA with specific emphasis will be required to complete a minimum of 48 credit hours (see individual programmes for more information, pages 22-23).

The academic calendar is split into five terms. Each term is eight weeks long.You can choose to study either one or two evenings per week, and must complete each term in full.

It is possible to switch between studying either one or two evenings per week at the start of each term.

It is not possible to drop modules or take additional modules part way through a term.

Study breaks Once on the course, you may need to take a study break due to unforeseen work or family commitments. As the MBA programme is modular, and because each term is independent, it is possible to take a break from study and re-join the course at the start of the next term.You should discuss a study break with your tutor. Extended breaks of over six months have to be agreed in writing.

On-line flexibility If your location changes, or your work commitments prevent you from attending classes in the future, all the MBA modules are available to take online. You can use the online facility to complement the part-time class delivery or to complete the programme.

Duration The length of time it takes to complete the part-time MBA will vary, according to the pattern of study that you choose. The most common options are illustrated below: 12-CLASS MBA Two evenings per week 6 terms 2 classes per term 15 months

One evening per week 12 terms 1 class per term 30 months

16-CLASS MBA WITH EMPHASIS Two evenings per week One evening per week 8 terms 16 terms 2 classes per term 1 class per term 21 months 39 months
