Delivery of programme:
Attendance at the taught sessions is mandatory. The programme is
delivered via the 'executive' model. Busy executives need only attend
two intensive taught weekends with much of the learning taking place
between and after the weekends. Course members must have daily access
to the internet and email, as much of the learning takes place
within the Webucate system. Click here
for details.
In other words if
you hold one of the qualifications listed below, you need only attend
the two weekend workshops near Heathrow airport in the UK and you can
do the rest of your studying via the Webucate system.

"Thought I should drop you a
note now that the MSc is over! .... I
really enjoyed the course and on reflection, I can't believe how
quickly the last year has gone. Hopefully the three colleagues that
I recommended the course to will meet the standard of achieving a
distinction too! (Just a shame that your new £20 Amazon voucher
offer per new enrolment didn't exist when I recommended the course
to the three of them!) ..... When
I needed to contact MDC for things, queries were handled promptly
and staff were very helpful. ...... I
know you used a quote from me in your last newsletter, and if you
need to use someone as a case study in future, feel free to get in
touch." ....... Marcus Bailey, Lloyds TSB
(graduated Jul 03)
