Part-time English

Part-time MBA

The Part-time MBA programme is presented in English only, and runs over 3 years. Students must attend classes on campus over a period of 2 years and complete a research report in the remainder of the time. Lectures are usually scheduled for three evenings per week, so this option will suit students who live in the greater Cape Town area and work Full-time. Prospective students outside Cape Town should consider the Modular option.

Part-time MBA students will be expected to attend classes for a week Full-time to do their electives. The structure and content of the Part-time course is identical to that of the Full-time and Modular courses.

"Do your MBA Part-time over 3 years:
