Teaching pattern
- Weekly learning sequences: priming reading → applied task → live tutorial → draft submission window
- Peer review on selected tasks to build feedback literacy
- Academic integrity modules at start and before final submissions
Partner MBA completion
After diploma award, partners may credit exempt taught modules and require dissertation, integrated capstone, or residency blocks. You pay the partner directly for that stage; ICM progression staff provide checklist support only.
