This initial phase will fundamentally cover basic accounting issues and will develop analytical methods appropriate for managerial decisions which will be used throughout the remainder of the programme. In addtion, this initial period will also provide an overview of the basic management areas that will be covered in more detail later on in the programme and will also focus on some essential concepts of business administration.

Although the potential choice is relatively wide, specific courses will only run contingent on the participation of a minimum number of registered students. All students must complete 150 hours of elective courses. Nonetheless, a larger number of elective courses can be completed, in which case only the highest grades received will be considered in the final overall MBA grade. The optional courses are structured by way of five areas of specialization: Organizational Development, Accounting and Finance, Operations, Marketing and Entrepreneurship.
