When
Classes meet on weekday mornings and afternoons for your first two semesters. The six months that follow kick off with the optional international trip and then consist of the residency programme, your full-time paid work experience, the hours of which vary according to your placement. Coursework continues during your final two semesters, following a traditional full-time schedule and calendar.
Where
Classes take place at James Hope Business School, located on the Twin Lakes Estate in Lekki (Chevron Junction, Lekki-Epe Expressway). Online options are also available for some courses. Most residency assignments will be in Lagos, although options are available in other major cities in Nigeria, across West Africa, and around the world.
How
The 72-credit-hour programme kicks off with an orientation week. Focused seminars convene on campus and are designed around case studies, tech simulations, and real-world experiences. Beyond the classroom, networking opportunities abound.
