Each course will have a 3 ½ hour lecture each week; therefore, there will be 7 hours of lecture per week. Exams will be conducted in between semesters and will be followed by inter semester breaks. Students are required to complete 11 core courses. In fourth semester, they can decide either to complete a dissertation (6 credit hours) or to take 2 elective courses in lieu of the dissertation. The dissertation will be in the area of management, and will be supervised by a member of the teaching faculty. Students will be expected to submit a short written proposal of their intended research topic towards the end of the fourth semester. The final dissertation will be due for submission at the end of the final semester or a subsequent date as determined by the Project Paper Committee.

The programme comprises 6 semesters spanning 24 months to be covered on a part-time basis. Each semester will be 12 weeks long and there will be 3 such semesters in a calendar year. Students will typically take up 2 courses per semester and 1 course in the final semester. Courses will be conducted on weekday evenings (6.30 p.m. - 10.00 p.m.).
