As the full-time MBA route of study is normally undertaken by those changing careers or considering starting up their own business, the programme has a more formal, integrated careers development element. The full-time course is 12 months - 10 months are spent taking part in classes, group-work and personal development processes, and two months completing the MBA project. It allows you to take time to embark on life planning and in many cases reinventing or re-planning your career. There are a number of classes designed to identify your personal strengths and weaknesses. The course is intensive and relies heavily on teamwork throughout – encouraging cooperation rather than competition.
