Study without fixed online attendance times

The programme does not require you to be online at specific times or dates. You can engage with your studies when it suits your schedule, rather than arranging every week around live attendance.

That flexibility is useful if your working hours change, you collaborate across time zones or you need to fit focused study around family life.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to work with information and develop a considered response.

It supports the kind of thoughtful analysis valuable in operations and business decision-making: examining a problem, drawing on relevant concepts and explaining your conclusions.
