Educational Model
The Real-World Skills MBA can be completed within 10 months. We use the top modern business learning model with both synchronous and asynchronous sessions and give you access not only to all areas of a traditional MBA (leadership, strategy, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, digital business, etc.) but mostly to practical and hands-on business knowledge you need in the workplace and make you differentiate from the rest of common MBA students graduates. We are also the only Business School in the world that has integrated into our Real-World Skills MBA courses from world-leading business schools such as HARVARD University, MIT, Imperial College London, Columbia University, NYU, RIT, University of Washington, Indiana University, University of Maryland, etc. And learners receive course CERTIFICATIONS after completion of the courses from these world-class universities and companies.
The MBA is comprised of 14 compulsory business courses and 2 electives (self-paced and live). Each module lasts between one to six weeks, depending on each course, except the Real-World Leadership Skills course, which takes place over the entire MBA length. Some of the live sessions take place at weekends in order to make it easier for working professionals to participate. Courses contain assessments during or/and at the end of the course. In addition, diverse exercises and activities take place which are not assessed, they rather help students engage with the MBA and increase their learning and application curve.
During the business courses, students delve into each topic and deepen their knowledge through a variety of modern tools such as live sessions, recorded videos, state-of-the-art case studies, group projects, chats, and many more important tools.
