Flexcore
Flexcore is a set of four key online modules of which you must choose at least two. By choosing your preferred modules in this way, you can personalize your MBA to study what interests you the most. You may take more than two flex core modules, decreasing the number of elective modules you must complete accordingly.
You will study flex core modules from the third term of the program if you choose the fast-track (21 months) option, and from the second year if you choose the standard (24 months) or extended (32 months) options.

Electives allow you to explore new avenues or specialize in an area of particular interest. For our Global Online MBA, we offer a large portfolio of electives. You can design your learning by choosing to take these electives on-campus or online. For on-campus modules, you will join students from across our MBA programs.
You will complete four elective modules unless you take more than the required two flex core modules. In the latter case, the number of required elective modules reduces accordingly. You will study electives from the third term of the program if you choose the fast-track (21 months) option, and from the second year if you choose the standard (24 months) or extended (32 months) options.
