Earn a British Degree with International Recognition
Graduates earn a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. For professionals in St John's who work with international partners or aspire to roles beyond Antigua and Barbuda, a British qualification can be a valuable addition to a CV.
The programme combines the academic foundation of a university degree with the flexibility of online study through Robert Kennedy College. You can develop a broader perspective on management, energy and sustainability while continuing to build your career.
Study 100% Online in as Little as One Year
The MBA can be completed 100% online in as little as one year. There is no need to relocate or set aside your life in St John's to pursue a postgraduate qualification.
That flexibility makes it easier to study while working and meeting personal commitments. The one-year route offers a focused path for those ready to make sustained progress toward graduation.
Learn Without Fixed Live Attendance Times
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. Rather than arranging your day around scheduled live classes, you can engage with your studies when it suits you.
This approach can be especially helpful when your work involves changing hours, travel or collaboration across time zones. You can plan your learning around your responsibilities while keeping sight of programme requirements and deadlines.
Take Your Studies Wherever You Go
Study from St John's, elsewhere in Antigua and Barbuda, or anywhere your plans take you. The online format lets you maintain continuity in your learning whether you are at home, travelling for work or spending time abroad.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period without a reliable connection need not prevent you from making use of the time available to learn.
Think Critically with Open-Book Assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This gives you the opportunity to work with course resources as you develop and support your answers.
Open-book assessment encourages you to connect concepts, evaluate evidence and articulate decisions. Those habits can serve you well when addressing complex business and sustainability questions beyond the classroom.
Learn from Faculty with Distinguished Academic Backgrounds
The programme's tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds bring a breadth of perspectives to your studies.
Learning from educators with international experience can help you examine familiar challenges in new ways. As you explore energy and sustainability alongside core management ideas, you can draw on those perspectives to strengthen your own approach to leadership.
Join a Global Learning Community
Students from more than 130 countries bring different professional experiences and viewpoints to the learning community. Studying alongside them offers a chance to consider how energy, business and sustainability challenges are understood across borders.
Alumni work for international organisations including Aramco, Chevron, Mitsubishi Power, University of California Riverside, Lukoil, EDF, Kuwait Oil Company, Rosneft, Sinopec, PetroChina, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. These examples reflect the range of sectors represented among graduates, not a promise of employment with any particular organisation.
Plan Your Investment with Monthly Instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time may make it easier to plan for study alongside your regular expenses.
With a clearer way to budget for your degree, you can focus on what you want to gain from it: stronger management skills, a deeper understanding of energy and sustainability, and greater confidence in your next career step.
Put Your Learning to Work in St John's
Tourism and hospitality are important to the economy of Antigua and Barbuda. For graduates working with hotels, visitor services or related businesses in St John's, the programme's blend of management and sustainability thinking could inform decisions about energy use, operational efficiency and long-term planning.
As a port city, St John's also connects businesses and services that depend on transport and reliable infrastructure. Graduates interested in logistics, maritime activity or supply chains could use the programme's international perspective to examine how energy choices, costs and sustainability goals interact.
Across the island, questions about energy resilience and resource use matter to organisations in both the public and private sectors. The MBA can help graduates approach such questions with strategic and analytical tools, whether they want to contribute to an existing organisation or develop new ideas of their own.
