A new online global MBA has been launched this week by Imperial Business School. The ‘Imperial Global MBA’, as it will be known, is a flexible, part-time, online program allowing students from all over the world to earn their MBA remotely.
According to the school’s press release, the new Imperial Global MBA comes partly in response to the growing popularity of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) which are offered by universities and business schools and now have nearly four million registered users across the globe.
The school has developed its own learning platform called ‘The Hub’ which will facilitate interactive learning and allow students to attend live lectures and chat via online forums.
The Hub will enable students to track their progress on the course and benchmark their work against the work of their fellow classmates. Course leaders will also be able to divide students into time zone specific workgroups in order to make collaboration on projects and assignments easier. Interactive forums and social media platforms allow for networking, via linking corporate partners and alumni of Imperial Business School.
The global MBA builds off of the school’s previous distance learning MBA which was discontinued in 2012 in an effort to continually improve the MBA courses on offer at the school. The new Imperial Global MBA is a two-year long online program with students required to spend three weeks on the Imperial Business School campus.
