COURSE INFORMATION
Course Duration
The MBA Course registration period is 4 years and is comprised of the following stages:
Graduate Certificate in Management (GCM) stage
Graduate Diploma in Management (GDM) stage
Master of Business Administration (MBA) stage
Refer to your Student Handbook for more information regarding timeframes and course duration.
If you register to undertake the Course on a stage by stage basis namely the GCM, you will automatically be admitted into relevant
MBA Course you applied for upon successful completion of all of the relevant assessment requirements for the GCM and upon the
appropriate fees being paid up in full.
GCM entry students must complete their GCM stage within 16 months from the Course commencement date.
GCM entry students must attempt all core subjects first and pass at least 4 of the core subjects before attempting any
elective/specialisation (non-core) subjects. Therefore, if by the start date of any enrolled non-core subject, a GCM entry student has
not yet passed at least 4 core subjects, AIB will de-enrol them from that non-core subject and if permitted the student will need to
re-sit or re-enrol in the relevant core subject(s) (when available) as appropriate in order to proceed. Students should note that the
requirements stated in this sub-section could affect a student’s course duration.
Your ability to do the MBA over a designated timeframe will depend on the course and subjects you have chosen to undertake and
their availability. If you fail one or more exams, you may be entitled to re-sit or re-enrol, but certain conditions apply. Failing subjects
will increase the duration of your course - refer to the Student Handbook.
