Students may either study on campus or obtain their degree through a sophisticated distance learning programme, which mirrors the on-campus programme and is taught by the same faculty. Participation in the graduate programme offered by the University’s Department of Management Sciences in the Faculty of Engineering, results in a Master of Management Sciences (MMSc) degree with a specialisation in the management of technology.

Most graduate programmes, however, focus either on management or technology, failing to integrate the two disciplines. The MOT programme focuses on integration, rather than function. For example, the programme teaches students to create synergy between traditional technology-heavy areas of business, such as R&D and engineering manufacturing, and the commercial side of the business - areas such as marketing, finance and human resources. DISTANCE LEARNING Distance learning students receive texts and other reading material by mail and meet on the Internet for synchronous tutorials. The online classroom enables students to work with each other on projects, case studies, business simulations and seminar discussions creating a vibrant online learning community.
