Top Choice for Flexibility

EBS's fully flexible MBA program allows you to complete your education at your own pace. There are no completion dates, so you can start your course and complete it anytime you want.

As a guide, each module requires approximately 200 study hours. Most students complete the MBA in three years, but you can take as little or as much time as you like depending on the amount of study time you have available.

If you need, you can take a break from your study at any time, for any reason, and continue when you're ready.

Study from anywhere in the world, and sit your exams at a time that suits you - at any one of 350 EBS centres around the world.

Pre-requisites

Most MBA programs require an undergraduate degree or significant management experience. EBS is different.

If you do not have an existing undergraduate degree or management experience, you can still qualify for the EBA MBA by completing the Postgraduate Certificate of Business Administration - which has no pre-requisites.

The three modules in the Postgraduate Certificate course form part of the full MBA program. Upon completion, you can choose to exit with that qualification, or complete the remaining six modules required to gain the MBA.

Exit Qualifications

You work towards your MBA on a module-by-module basis. After completing three modules, you're eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six modules, you're eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration.

You can exit with either of these qualifications - which provide formal recognition of your progress - or continue on to gain your MBA.

Comprehensive Student Support

EBS offers a full support network for distance education students. You have online access to:

• The full resources of Heriot-Watt University's library
• Faculty members and peers (through forums)
• Self-assessment exercises
• Administrative staff

EBS's self-study experience is comprehensive - you are provided with everything you need to prepare for your exams.

Affordable Study

EBS courses can be more affordable than other major MBAs, including other distance education offerings. This is especially true for Permanent Residents and others not eligible for government FEE-HELP.

There are fewer modules to be completed, and you enrol in and pay for your course on a module-by-module basis - no upfront fees are required.

SEEK Learning also offers financing options to assist you with your payment. Contact a SEEK Learning consultant now for more information.
