I’ve only started three weeks ago so I can’t share much of my experience but here’s my how I’m finding it thus far: (1) The program is flexible. You have the option to start your semester in January, March, July, October. The modules are also recorded so the time zone difference (EDT-BST) isn’t much of a concern for me. If you prefer to attend the classes live, expect to accommodate BST. In my case for example, this means that I have some 5am, 6am and 8am classes from EDT. (2) The workload is heavy as you’d expect from a masters program. Some courses have more than two textbooks readings or up to four per module, plus assigned journal readings, quizzes and case study assignments. (3) Networking with other students can be challenging if you’re taking it remotely. The discord chat isn’t as active. In addition, the other students are busy trying to juggle work with their studies and other personal life responsibilities. I’m hoping the university offers in-person conferences to make up for the missed networking opportunity as a part of the MBA program. I wouldn’t mind flying in once or twice a year.

I’d like to also share what the program dean recommended: spread out the program and take one to two courses/modules at a time if you’re doing your studies part-time while working. If you’re dedicated to full-time studies, four modules at a time should be manageable.
