Delivery
Coventry University’s MBA in Global E-business is being delivered by E-Learning, utilising the latest teaching and learning technologies.
Students working in countries around the globe will interact with academic tutors and fellow students using a full range of internet technologies, including web conferencing, on-line conferencing and discussion boards, and virtual worlds.
Students may also attend optional face-to-face induction days and study schools, when their timetables and location support this. Modules are assessed by coursework rather than by exams because the focus is on supporting the student in identifying their own research and organisational needs, rather than testing their knowledge of set texts.
