The growth of online learning as a successful education delivery method for professionals has been profound in the last 15 – 20 years. If traditional face to face programs require you to attend classes on fixed locations at fixed dates, online learning programs do not place such demands. If you are often on-the-go, travel frequently or face constantly changing work commitments you may find the rigors of classwork impossible to manage. You can travel freely, relocate, or live in remote areas without interrupting your MBA studies. The online learning format suits students ‘ability to juggle the competing demands of work, family, and study. Ultimately, this depends on the type of person you are, your lifestyle, and how you prefer to learn. Our online education model provides you with true flexibility in your learning options. Not only is the SBS Online MBA truly portable, it also provides you with greater flexibility than traditional MBA programs.
The SBS Online MBA is conducted exclusively via online lecturing. In conjunction with industry experts and academics, our faculty team ensures that course contents ensure outstanding learning outcomes. You receive a comprehensive Course outline for each module, which contains full course work, case study activities, readings and references to further resources for each topic. The lecturer of the each course is responsible for setting and marking the assignments and exams, providing commentary on the topics throughout the study period and academic guidance for any questions and issues you have during your study. All webinar classes are synchronous, and students are expected to participate in the live webinar sessions.
In our Online MBA program, each course is credited with 5 ECTS; the Master Thesis is credited with 15 ECTS. The Online MBA is a 90 ECTS program.
Each course has a duration of 8 weeks.* During the 8 weeks, students need to complete projects, analyze case studies, submit assignments and exams, as assigned by the lecturer. The Online Master of Business Administration (Online MBA) program requires completion of 15 courses, plus a Master thesis.
