Assessment methods
You will be assessed through a mixture of exams, written projects and presentations, with most modules being assessed through two pieces of work. Part one and two of the programme are assessed independently and you must pass both parts to qualify for the MBA degree.
In part one, the individual assessment generally takes the form of an examination and these are timetabled at the end of each term. The majority of the elective themes in part two are assessed by group and individual projects.
Written projects come in a variety of forms: individual essays, group reports and 'Written Analysis of a Case' (WAC) assignments. A WAC is a business report based on a case study which requires an integrated, rather than a functional solution. The WACs are set under strict conditions of time and length and are designed to teach you the skill of business report writing under time pressure. During part one you will do four WACs, two in each term.

Classes take place at Cranfield over six eight-day residential blocks each year.
