The typical duration of an online MBA in Business Administration and Management (MBA) is 1 year (9 months).
An online MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a postgraduate degree. It is an advanced study programme designed to provide students with strong skills and knowledge in various areas of business management, such as finance, marketing, human resources, operations and strategy.
An online MBA offers numerous advantages for professionals looking to boost their career:
No, a Master in Business Administration and an MBA are not the same thing. While both programmes focus on business administration and management, there are significant differences in their approach, objectives and target audience.
A Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a postgraduate programme that provides general training in the fundamentals of business management. It covers areas such as accounting, finance, marketing, operations, human resources and business strategy. The main objective of a master's degree in MBA is to provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to perform effectively in various roles within an organisation.
An MBA (Master of Business Administration), on the other hand, is a postgraduate programme with a more specialised focus on business management. It is aimed at professionals who already have work experience and are looking to develop their leadership and management skills to advance their career. The MBA programme focuses on areas such as strategic leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication and decision making.
In summary, an MBA is a good option for those seeking a general business education, while an MBA is ideal for experienced professionals who want to take their management skills to the next level.
To learn more about the differences between a Master in Business Administration and an MBA, I recommend you read the following article:
We summarise the main differences between a Master in Business Administration and an MBA:
| Characteristics | Master in Business Administration | MBA |
|---|---|---|
| Target audience | People with little or no work experience in business administration | Professionals with work experience in business administration |
| Focus | General training in the fundamentals of business management | Specialised focus on business management |
| Objectives | To provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to perform effectively in various roles within an organisation. | To develop the leadership and management skills of professionals to advance their careers |
| Syllabus | Covers areas such as accounting, finance, marketing, operations, human resources, and business strategy | Focuses on areas such as strategic leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication and decision making |
The Online MBA assessment is designed to offer comprehensive and flexible training, tailored to students' professional and personal lives. With online evening classes, where synchronous attendance is not compulsory (although recommended to maximise learning), the programme ensures that participants can manage their time while developing key skills. Assessment is based on a model that includes:
1. Face-to-face examinations at venues
2. Practical activities
3. Professional internships (6 ECTS)
4. Defence of the Master's Final Project (TFM)
This evaluation system combines theory, practice and flexibility, ensuring a complete training experience aligned with the demands of the professional environment.
