“The model,” is a term referring to the time served method of delivering UK university postgraduate programs, on a part-time basis to busy executives. It provides the local executive student with the same learning experience as they would enjoy on similar part-time programs, at the university campus. In general students are mature executives normally with significant industry experience. The average age of current MDCI students is 35 and most have over 8 years of relevant experience. The university partner provides the identical academic components of the program, including teaching that students enjoy on campus. MDCI provides local support for both university and student.
