The Durham Caribbean MBA
Course Description
The Durham Caribbean MBA is a two year, part-time programme delivered in Barbados by Durham academic faculty. The programme commences with a five day induction period, followed by 11 teaching blocks of 3-4 days each, and a five month dissertation period. These concentrated tuition periods allow you to stay in your job, gain your income and continue your career path while studying. So you can combine perfectly family, executive education, job and career opportunities.
It is not distance learning, however internet-based support is provided. It is identical to the programme you would study if you were in Durham and you receive the same qualification as Durham-based graduates.
The participants on the Caribbean MBA are one of the programme´s greatest strengths. Our students come from a wide range of managerial functions in both the private and public sectors and their interaction and mutual support have helped ensure a very high completion rate.
