Choosing a Specialization

The following explanation is from the UEBS Full-Time MBA Site (MyBiz)
(As of the date of this Blog Post)

Students wishing to select a specialisation must submit the form below when selecting option courses for semester 2b. The absolute deadline for selecting or changing specialisation is April 16, 2012.

When selecting option courses for Semester 2b, students wishing to pursue one of the specialisations must also submit a form confirming the area of specialisation. In addition, students must submit a brief description of the Capstone Project that will contribute 40 credits towards the specialisation. The description cannot simply say "Strategy" or "Finance" but must sketch an area for the intended Capstone Project and type of project: Business Plan, Business Report, Academic Case Study, Traditional Dissertation, or Social Entrepreneurship Project.

Changing specialisation
Students may change specialisation once, this must be done no later than 16 April, which is the deadline for selecting specialisation. The deadline for selecting specialisation is 16 April. The change can only become effective if the student can secure at least 20 coursework credits within the new specialisation when considering Semester 2a and Semester 2b/Exchange choices. In addition, a student wishing to select a new specialisation must re-submit the MBA Specialisation Form including a new description of the Capstone Project. A suitable project adviser may not be available at this late point in time.

Students who have not previously selected a specialisation my do so at the time of selecting Semester 2b option courses under the same terms as for those wishing to change their specialisation.

Once semester 2b courses are confirmed and IBs confirm courses that they are taking abroad - and everyone has submitted their capstone project proposals, we will be able to confirm whether or not applications for specialisations have been accepted.

Students on the IB Programme will need to discuss their course choices for their semester abroad with Tony to ensure that they are suitable for specialisation.

Please consult the list of courses seeded for the different specialisation tracks and then fill in the form below to select your specialisation.
