The core courses provide participants with a broad ranging education in the fundamentals of the Modular PG Programme. In addition, the core courses allow participants to develop rigorous analytical abilities, establish collaborative and team-building skills, and become aware of ethics and social responsibility as essential factors in management decision-making. Participants also acquire an understanding of the global marketplace and how it is affected by cultural difference.

The elective courses allow participants to further integrate the knowledge and skills learned in core courses. Electives make our programme flexible and enable participants to explore different academic options. Our participants can select their electives based on their areas of interest and their professional and personal goals.

Leaders must increasingly draw upon a broad range of analytical, interpersonal and communication skills. Additionally, mastering several languages is an essential skill for managers, communicators and marketers who aim at reaching senior positions in international corporations and institutions. Our programme therefore offers a menu of skill courses that usually have a workshop format and constitute our International Management Development (IMD) curriculum.

International Management Development (IMD) Skill Courses enhance participants' interpersonal and team building skills, oral and written communications abilities, decision-making and analytical capabilities and career planning skills.

In addition to a substantial academic coursework, participants are required to undertake one Master's Dissertation worth 2 graduate credits. Our programme allows participants the flexibility to choose from several options based on their professional and personal goals undertaking substantial research, an internship or a field-study work. These exercises enable participants to either experience the organisational and competitive realities of real-world business or to study a specific subject matter in depth. The dissertation or project will be undertaken by the student at the end of the third term.

The Directed Study is an in-depth research project, conducted under the guidance of a faculty member, on a topic of participants' choice that must bear a clear relationship with one of the themes/disciplines composing the curriculum. The main purpose of the Directed Study is to consolidate participants' abilities to integrate a significant aspect of their studies into a major piece of written work by providing them with the opportunity to pursue and explore, in detail, a specific area of interest. The work should be thorough and methodical, and illustrate effective applications.

This exercise enables participants to refine and apply the skills and knowledge gained in their coursework to the identification, analysis, and resolution of field-based managerial and administrative issues of significance. Under the guidance of a faculty member who acts as the mentor, students serve as consultants to the client companies. Whenever possible, the project should be a current one rather than one reporting on a past event or situation. The work should be of the highest professional quality in content, execution, and accountability.
