Curriculum
Academic input is delivered through two types of courses: core courses and elective courses. Core courses (Term 1 to 3) are compulsory for all participants. They provide participants with the fundamental conceptual knowledge, analytical skills and techniques, contextual understanding, environmental awareness and overall perspective, which serve as the base for the programme. The elective courses, which are offered in the second year (Term 4 to 6), give participants a deeper understanding of different functional areas and enable them to specialize in areas of their choice.

Capstone Course
The capstone course aims to help students synthesize what they have learned through the two years. The course gives the participants an opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the programme to real-life situations.
Case Writing
The case method is a major pedagogical tool used by the faculty in course delivery. Through this method, the participants are exposed to real-life situations of decision uncertainties in organizations. Through active classroom discussions, the faculty walks the participants through possible solutions and possible decision frameworks while bringing out the related theories.
In the final term of the programme, participants will be required to write a business case under the mentorship of a faculty member, based on real-life situations involving real people, in real organizations and with real data.
