48 MonthsThe FPM programme is largely residential in nature and would take approximately three to four years to complete. During this period, the scholar undergoes the course work, and submits a thesis at the end of the programme. The thesis should make a significant theoretical and practical contribution to the discipline of management or to one of its source disciplines.
The FPM programme consists of two phases. The first phase of the programme involves course work, followed by a Comprehensive Examination. The second phase requires scholars to work on their thesis, which involves the preparation of a thesis proposal, writing of the thesis, and finally an examination based on this thesis.
