How do you study?

The programme structure

The programme is divided into years, and then into six-month semesters. You have flexibility built-in, but if you choose, you can complete your MBA in as little as 30 months.

Year One: In each semester, you will study three core modules, giving you a total of six subjects within the year. For each semester, you will join us for the Warwick Week, which is held around 8-10 weeks after the start of the semester. Your first Warwick Week will last for five days, the second for just three days.
Year Two: In one semester, you will complete your core modules, study your first choice of electives, and complete a six-day Warwick Week. The second semester will offer online electives only, with no requirement to visit Warwick. You will also start your project & dissertation during this year.
Year Three: During your final year you will complete the remainder of your electives and your project & dissertation. You may also attend a Warwick Week, depending on your elective choices.

Face-to-face subjects

We recognise that some students will want to experience as much face-to-face teaching as possible. Included in your fee is one face-to-face 5-day module and you can choose when and where you take this opportunity, subject to availability of places. It could be:

Market Analysis, in Rome (core module)
Organisational Behaviour, in Asia (core module)
Strategic Advantage, at Warwick or another location (core module)
Any elective of your choice in your second or third year, either at Warwick or one of our overseas locations.
