Capstone Paper - strategic case study for the MBA programme
Rather than the traditional end of course dissertation which many MBA courses include, this MBA has, as its pinnacle, a real-world case study. The case study is given to students approximately one month before the end of period examination. Students then spend time researching the organisation prior to the exam. Students are allowed to bring their research on the company into the three hour examination Students are assessed on the examination plus previous research which is submitted with the exam script.
