COURSE ORIENTATION
Welcome to the Masters in Business Administration (MBA-Top-Up) Degree. The EDUVISA Graduate School of Management Online MBA Degree Pathway provides a firm academic grounding in leadership strategy, marketing and finance while preparing the learner/student from a professional perspective to fulfil a leadership role in any industry at any career stage of his/her life. The EDUVISA Graduate School of Management MBA Degree Pathway offers two MBA Degree options based on a generic MBA Curriculum (aligned with the UK-Ofqual RQF qualification framework) which is followed in most business schools and universities in English-speaking countries around the world:
- MBA DEGREE (BBA/MBA Integrated Curriculum) -This curriculum incorporates Bachelor-Hons and Master's academic years into one qualification that could be completed within a period of ±30 months at a reduced cost based on an uninterrupted academic programme.
- MBA DEGREE (Post-Graduate Abridged Curriculum) - This curriculum accommodates students, who have already completed a Bachelor's Degree or qualification of equal standing, with an opportunity to obtain a Master in Business Administration (MBA) Degree within a period of ±18 months by completing an abridged curriculum based on an uninterrupted academic programme.
The MBA (Capstone) (Dissertation) builds on the theory and practical application of the UniQual/Ofqual prescribed generic BBA/MBA curriculum completed during the Dip.Man, HDip.Man, GDip.Man and PGDip.BMan academic phases and forms the final academic phase of the MBA Degree pathway resulting in a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) (RQF-L7) Degree that is awarded by the UK or alternative university of choice as selected by the candidate.
EDUVISA Graduate School of Management offers technology-driven blended- and online learning that combined guided self-study, interactive online classes, videos, and PowerPoint presentations with online tutorial assistance.

The Masters in Business Administration (MBA) (Capita Selecta) (Dissertation) is completed online at the UK or international university of choice and is completed via the Online Learner Management System (OLMS) of the selected university.
