The MBS degree in Co-operative and Social Enterprise by e-learning is a full time programme taken over one calendar year from the date of registration (or part-time over 2 calendar years).
The main aims of the MBS in Co-operative and Social Enterprise are to:
- equip graduates for management careers and/or voluntary service at senior level in a wide range of co-operatives and social enterprises
- equip participants with the specific knowledge and skills they will need to be able to participate meaningfully and effectively at leadership level in the decision-making, management and entrepreneurial processes of co-operatives and social enterprises
- develop the capacity of both voluntary and salaried senior practitioners in co-operative and social enterprises to respond creatively to the needs and problems of the wider community and society
- provide adults, combining family responsibilities and full-time jobs, with access to postgraduate and personal development opportunities in the co-operative and social enterprise field
The MBS Co-operative and Social Enterprise is aimed at students studying either full-time for an MBS on an e-learning basis of 90 credits over one full calendar year or 90 credits half-time over a maximum of two calendar years. The programme will be a taught programme, with a minor dissertation. Each module/course will be delivered using web-based modules supported by web-based discussion and virtual seminars.
Examining for the MBS will take the form of continuous assessment, e.g. essays, group work, virtual contributions etc. This means that there will be no end of year written examinations for this course.
