It offers flexibility and learning in an international setting - two key features not normally available to those seeking enhanced educational qualifications while working. The online programmes can be undertaken on a fulltime basis but it also provides the opportunity for those juggling travel, work and personal commitments to extend their career opportunities through part time study. Our student body is made up mostly of middle and senior level executives and professionals. They average between 35-40 years of age, have on average 9 years working experience and presently come from over 65 countries. Many of them chose U21Global as it provides them the unique opportunity to learn, work, travel and balance family responsibilities simultaneously.Why online?Today’s business world is much faster, changes more often, requires more critical thinking, more creativity, more analysis and synthesis, more choice in available information, and decisions are harder as a result. There is much more risk than before – and the global influences add another level of complexity. The modern knowledge economy demands very different capabilities from the old production economy or industrial age. New solutions are required as old solutions don’t work any more. New problems arise, and have to be analysed from first principles. Things change quickly. Can traditional education deliver this? Maybe – maybe not. It depends on the quality of the education. Can online education deliver this? The answer is the same – maybe and maybe not! Again it depends on the quality of the education being delivered. The evolution of the internet and advances in technology have made online education not only an increasingly attractive proposition, but also more dynamic than traditional forms of education, and often better suited to the needs of today’s society and economy.U21Global offers a truly global management education, with students from over 65 countries and who are active managers in those countries, studying together in a vibrant virtual classroom. It offers a dynamic online learning environment, facilitated by quality faculty, and ensures stimulating interaction among students and with faculty through active discussion of the topics covered. This environment fosters development of global management capabilities and management competencies suitable for the global knowledge economy.
