University of London - EXTERNAL PROGRAMME
MBA and Postgraduate
Diploma in International Management
Study Support
Academic support
The programme is designed
to be followed successfully with limited direct academic interaction
from staff at Royal Holloway. However, support is given in several
ways:
Tutor-marked assignments
You can submit one
written assignment per course and Royal Holloway academics will provide
feedback. This will enable you to measure your progress as you study
and your mark will also count towards your assessment.
Research project
You will be assigned
an individual supervisor who will assist you in the writing of the
project.
World Wide Learning
Community
Royal Holloway has
established a World Wide Learning Community (WWLC) on the web, where
tutors respond to enquiries, and students can meet and exchange ideas.
The WWLC provides a
variety of resources - including online seminars, email access to
administrative staff and academic tutors, links to library resources
and business pages, and a student discussion forum - to enrich your
learning experience on the programme.
These are some of the
benefits provided by the WWLC that you can look forward to during
the course of your studies and afterwards:
