Conditional Enrolment for Non-Graduates Possible

In exceptional cases, special entry provisions may apply to candidates with non-standard qualifications. Special Entry conditions may, for example, apply to applicants who do not possess a first degree but who have held positions of significant responsibility in their careers. In such cases, the Academic Board may decide to offer conditional enrolment in the MBA programme subject to such candidates successfully completing two Compulsory Study Units.

Alternatively
Candidates with alternative qualifications and experience will also be considered on their individual merit. In such circumstances candidates should contact us providing full details of their qualifications and work experience.
