Edinburgh Napier University

This page sets our the delivery schedule and modules of the online MBA and routes. You can study a maximum of two modules each trimester, where available. The first six modules can be taken in any order, however, when selecting your modules please consider when the specialism modules are delivered as they do not run every trimester.

Your final modules will be the Data Analysis for Business Decision Making module and, on successful completion, you can then progress to the MBA Project module. These final modules can only be taken once you have successfully completed all other modules. Your Project must be in your specialist area.

All modules are 20 credits, except for the MBA Project which is 40 credits.

Please note that changes may occur between now and the time that you commence your studies.
