MBA study modes and duration | Management disciplines and professional education

The 2025 MBA plan defines different basic study durations: 2.5 years for full-time and 3 years for part-time enrollment. These formats address different scheduling realities while preserving a structured degree pathway. Course sequencing, business practice and the thesis process need to fit within each mode. The stated basic duration describes the program framework; individual completion still depends on the degree's applicable requirements and progress.

Full-time and part-time MBA study patterns

Full-time MBA students have a basic program duration of 2.5 years under the 2025 plan, while part-time students have a three-year basic duration. Study mode affects the calendar for coursework and professional practice, but both routes are governed by the credit and degree requirements of the applicable curriculum.

Duration is a program framework, not a promise that every individual completes on exactly the same date.

A closer look at MBA study modes and duration

The 2025 MBA plan distinguishes full-time and part-time study paths. The stated basic period is 2.5 years for full-time students and 3 years for part-time students. These durations should be read alongside curriculum credits, required practical components and thesis-related stages rather than as a fixed sequence of classroom terms only.
