Course Content
The programme engages the student in a critical examination of a range of retail issues and specialisms in addition to a focussed review of several critical boardroom-level topics involving broad strategic questions of business policy and direction.
The MBS is offered Part-Time over two years (five semesters) and also in Full-Time mode over one calendar year. In both modes, students take thirteen modules some of which are electives. The part-time programme modules are delivered on one afternoon/early evening a week but, in addition, there is a full Themed Week On-campus in late January and an International Retailing Study Tour in late May of the first year and a Research focused on-campus week in late January of the second year. These full-weeks are mandatory and form part of the assessed learning content of the programme.
