MBA (Master in Business Administration)

City Unity College, in cooperation with Cardiff Metropolitan University, offers an MBA (Master in Business Administration).

The MBA is an internationally recognized postgraduate degree in business administration for a prospective student to certify his administrative/executive skills. Our students come from both the private and public sectors, while participation of executives from abroad makes the program particularly competitive.

Why choose the program?

  • It is a key to success in the highly competitive international labor markets: EU, USA, UAE, etc. Many graduates are already working abroad.

  • There is great demand for specialized business executives/administrators who are graduates of British universities.

  • Excellent employment prospects in dynamically growing sectors (finance, human resources management, marketing, etc.).

  • Combination of theoretical and practical knowledge by leading academics with a long-standing teaching and professional experience

  • Graduates may register at City Unity Business Club, an organized network that advances their networking into the job market.

  • The presence of students and executives from abroad makes this postgraduate program highly competitive as diverse cultures and various business models constitute an enormous human capital full of experiences and practices within a globalized economy.

  • The salary increases of MBA graduates are definitely faster than in other sectors, as job opportunities are growing faster.

  • MBA is the ideal tool for someone to start his/her own business having a better overview on how to hedge business risks.

Students attend five (5) compulsory courses and two (2) elective courses subject to their specialization. Upon completion of their courses, students deliver their dissertation.

The program is offered full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years). In order to obtain an MBA, each student will be required to successfully complete a total of 180 credits; that is seven modules of 20 credits each, and a dissertation equivalent to 40 credits. Each student studies four modules per semester, and each semester includes fifteen academic weeks. Students choose from the beginning their specialization in one of the following areas: Finance, Marketing, HR, Health Units Management, Project Management, Product Development Management, and Islamic Finance.

The program is not offered as distance learning, so students take part in weekly three-hour tutorial meetings. Furthermore, students can schedule additional meetings (either in person or electronically) with professors/tutors during office hours or via email, etc. The evaluation of each course is done through a combination of tests, assignments, and presentations. All students should participate in compulsory tests/exams and assignments depending on course description.

Students, with their professors’ assistance, may arrange their method of studying. At the same time, the course structure and the various teaching methods have been designed to support this practice. Micro-teaching is encouraged through the use of specific international practices such as case studies, while practical training is complemented by the use of appropriate materials, videos, computer software, etc.

The teaching material is presented through a mix of lectures, seminars and workshops.

  • Lectures: Lectures are an important part of the program’s teaching strategy as well as an effective way of presenting the educational material in an interactive, collaborative way.
  • Tutorial meetings: These sessions are intended to deal with issues that haven’t been covered within a classroom time framework. Tutorials are provided to support students to resolve any questions they may have. These meetings may be about:
    - Solving practical issues that arise from the curriculum
    - Resolving questions
    - Seminars

Seminars may involve meetings of a student or group of students with their professors in order to present a project or a work within the scope of a course; students of different levels may attend the seminars. This strategy is used to openly transfer knowledge to all students regardless of their level, thus enhancing the student-centered approach the City Unity College faculty puts special emphasis on.

  • Laboratories: Laboratories are widely used in a number of modules throughout the program. In these classes students are able to practice and improve their skills in a supportive environment by faculty members. Laboratories are the transition from theory to practice.
  • Case studies: Case studies are a fundamental teaching and learning strategy, as well as an evaluation tool. It is used for students to present and elaborate on real or virtual complex issues, which are first analyzed in detail, and then students outline their answers in writing or orally.
  • Lectures by distinguished speakers: From time to time, market and business people are invited to update students on current issues related to their studies and to offer a practical understanding and connections with the labor market.

All academic programs take place in our facilities at City Unity College, in the center of Athens, 15-17 Thisseos str, Syntagma 10562.
