Basic Course Programme

In the first semester the introduction, orientation-courses and the basic courses (9 Modules) take place in Liechtenstein and Austria. The Basic Course ensures that basic knowledge is imparted, and consists of 9 modules with approximately 200 lectures, and additional self-study equivalent to about 22 lectures per module. The courses are conceived of lectures with seminar-character.
The methodologies of the courses are theoretical inputs, individual-, and group work, case studies, guided discussions, role games, presentations, sharing experiences, self reflecting and evaluation, videos, simulation games and forums of excellence.
At the end of the modules the students have to compose a structure of a strategy analysis based on a case study, or they have to compose an assignment or essay. In addition, learning results are revised by lecturers during lectures time by setting tasks and giving feedback.

The Nine Modules

Module 1 | Strategic Management and Management Science
Module 2 | International Management
Module 3 | International Marketing
Module 4 | Cultural Aspects
Module 5 | Leadership and Management
Module 6 | International Finance & Accounting
Module 7 | Supply Chain Management
Module 8 | Human Resources Management
Module 9 | Business Process Management

The extended courses - Study Abroad

The extended study ( amounting to about 180 lectures and additional self-study ) takes place at the partner universities in St. Petersburg, Cheltenham and Shanghai. Basic knowledge is consolidated and applied in terms of case studies, personal contacts and company visits. The idiosyncratic market conditions in Great Britain, Eastern Europe and Asia are experienced.
The study visits provide an opportunity to become familiar with aspects of different cultures, as well as to get to know about the different ways in which companies do business. The study visits are completed by assessed assignments respectively.

MBA - Part

The MBA-course requires that further modules have to be covered and the preparation of an MBA-Thesis is mandatory. The associate University concerned will define the specifications in each particular case. Successful participants will receive the academic degree of Master of Business Administration (MBA) as conferred by the partner university concerned.
The MBA-course at the University of Gloucestershire Business School is organised as a flexible part-time study ( Two one-week-trips ; modules of instruction and self-study plus production of the Master-Thesis ) and lasts about 12 months (part-time).
