MA
- ADULT EDUCATION AND BUSINESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
The programme combines Adult Education and Business Management. It
has the same goal, aim and entry qualifications as the 12-month MA
Adult Education Programme but its duration is 24 months full-time,
or 48 months part-time, since it is a more intensive programme.
It
is possible for a student who successfully completes the one-year
Adult Education Programme with good grades to advance to the two-year
programme in the second year or later. Credits gained for taught courses
in the first year would then be transferred to the second year.
PROGRAMME COMPONENTS
The main components
of the programme are:
Course Work:
a minimum of sixteen and a maximum of twenty courses. Each course
involves lectures and a one-hour tutorial each week.
Seminar Presentations:
one seminar presentation by each student in the third semester.
Work attachment
Report or Dissertation: Spread over two inter-semester breaks,
i.e. end of first year and mid-point of second year.
