The credits can later be advanced to an Executive Education postgraduate award, with an MBA attained when 180 credits have been completed. This gives you the opportunity to study flexibly and choose modules to suit your own development needs.
Aimed at mid-career professionals working in the financial industry or regulation. Entry consideration will be given to individuals with minimal experience or qualifications, to a single module.
