What are your learning options?
Benefit from our flexible learning, expert tutors and reliable content
Blended learning
The Chartered Banker MBA is a blended learning programme that is a unique combination of online and face-to-face interaction. The study approach minimizes time away from the office and has less impact on the daily operation of the business making the programme highly accessible to students worldwide.
Blackboard
Blackboard is the virtual learning environment (VLE) used by Bangor University. Each module on the CBMBA programme benefits from a bespoke area within the platform where all study resources are held. Blackboard houses discussion forums where module interaction between students and tutors can take place and these are encouraged throughout the programme.
Online learning
The online learning element of the CBMBA programme is delivered by a combination of recorded lectures, live tutorials and Blackboard.
Materials
Studies are complemented by high quality study guides and textbooks which are sent by courier at the start of each semester.
Recorded lectures
Students are given access to recorded lectures hosted by Module Directors. These are supplemented by the live tutorials detailed next. These lectures are released via Blackboard.
Live tutorials (WebEx)
Live tutorials are part of the programme’s blended learning schedule. These are delivered via WebEx, an online video conferencing system. These tutorials are also recorded and made available via Blackboard for students whose work commitments mean that they cannot attend.
Face to face revision sessions
Each compulsory module benefits from an intensive one day workshop which is held on campus, and is also the UK’s examination centre. The revision sessions cater for an international audience and facilitates excellent networking opportunities with like-minded professionals from the global financial services industry. Overseas candidates unable to attend the revision sessions can request to sit at a local exam centre.
