Teaching
Our unique online learning platform my.wbs will act as the hub for your learning experience, hosting all of your teaching materials, key information from your CareersPlus and Programme Teams, and our online classroom: wbsLive.
Teaching and assessment will vary to fit the subject being studied. Our faculty have designed your learning experience to fit the subject being studied, with a variety of teaching and assessment styles.
Your teaching will take the form of lectures and webinars, supported, where relevant, by guest speakers from industry to balance theory and practice.
Class sizes
The typical class size for this course is around 200 students.
Typical contact hours
Students on this MSc will typically receive between 27 and 30 contact hours per module.
Assessment
Your learning will be assessed by a mix of exams, individual assessments, group work, project work, and tests. Group and project work will enable you to collaborate and gain new perspectives from your international cohort, preparing you for working in teams within a global work environment.
You can also apply to join one of the international study weeks to gain an awareness of international business culture through first-hand experience. In recent years, we have offered study weeks at Solvay Brussels School of Economics and ManagementLink opens in a new window, Madrid, Rome, and the University of Cape Town Graduate School of BusinessLink opens in a new window. Places on these study weeks are optional and limited, and students will be able to partake in an application and selection process to take part once they have begun on the course.

Your timetable
Your personalised timetable will be complete when you are registered for all modules, compulsory and optional, and you have been allocated to your lectures, seminars and other small group classes. Your compulsory modules will be registered for you and you will be able to choose your optional modules when you join us.
There may be events taking place in the evenings. Classes may run up to 7pm and other events, such as careers presentations may take place later or on weekends. Occasionally, classes and exams may be held on weekends. We will notify you in advance if this is the case.
This is a full-time course, so there are no holidays as such. However, the two weeks covering Christmas and New Year are guaranteed to be free from lectures. There may also be weeks free over the Easter period (check with your programme team). Resit exams may take place outside of standard teaching periods.
Additional course cost
You will be offered the option of an international study trip via a competitive application process that may incur some extra costs.
