24 MonthsIn view of the extensive need for management expertise in the development and management of urban infrastructure and systems, XUMG has pioneered the first 2-year full-time MBA Program in Urban Management and Governance in the country. The planning and management of livable, sustainable and smart cities have large-scale public and environmental implications, and require sector-specific expertise to ensure appropriate citizen-centric, just and ecologically sustainable development.
The MBA-UMG is therefore designed to build multi-dextrous professionals with the spatial and systemic understanding of urban areas on one hand and functional management knowledge and skills on the other. The combination of a spatial imagination and abilities, and management expertise endows a unique combination of competencies.
Program Structure:
The MBA-UMG Program includes core and elective coursework and other learning segments of 111 credits. Each credit requires 10 hours of classroom contact or its field equivalent, and another 10 hours outside the classroom for preparatory reading and assignments. Students are thus expected to spend about 70 hours a week for their academic work, in preparation for the rigours of a public management career. The core courses provide the conceptual and theoretical fundamentals of management, urban analysis and spatial development, and the analytical frameworks and tools for field learning. These are augmented by Urban Learning Experience (Urban Studio), Urban Management Internship, UMGP Colloquium, Immersion Courses, seminars and leadership talks.
