Why choose this programme?
Participative learning
You will benefit from teaching approaches that place you at the heart of learning, thus ensuring learning is relevant and enjoyable.
UK-Aligned quality standards
Our UK-aligned, industry-led programmes ensure you are getting the skills that employers are looking for, while our smaller class sizes give you the space to explore big ideas.
Elective Modules
You will also have the opportunity to tailor the programme to your needs by selecting two specialist Elective Modules during your studies.
Capstone Project
The capstone project in your final semester is a multifaceted assignment that provides a unique opportunity to apply all the skills and knowledge learned throughout the MA.
Unique location
You will benefit from teaching and learning that is aligned to the UK standards of provision, but has the advantage of a Mediterranean setting within a dynamic business environment.
Delivery
Delivered by expert teaching staff and industry experts, the full-time mode is a one-year accelerated programme that usually requires a commitment of sixteen hours class time a week.
You will also have the option to tailor your programme by selecting specialist Elective Modules.
The part-time study mode is designed to fit around your career and typically requires a commitment of eight hours class time a week over two evenings.
