Rediscover Your Alma Mater

The first master's degree programme launched by the University is the Master of Business Administration (MBA). It was launched in 1995 and attracted 288 students to register. By that time, the School of Business Administration, with 8,000 students, was the largest section of the then Open Learning Institute (OLI) and one of the biggest English language business schools of its kind in the world.

After that, the OLI continued to expand its master's degree programmes. For example, the Master of Education was launched in 1996 for graduate teachers. Now 43 master's degree programmes are on offer.
