FAQs

  • The Business Management MicroMasters program is targeted primarily to managers or mid-career professionals who wish to transform their careers by combining functional competence with global leadership skills. Owners or senior managers of entrepreneurial ventures who are looking to scale up their operations or professionalize management will also find this programme very useful.
  • Unfortunately, learners from one or more of the following countries or regions will not be able to register for this program: Iran, Cuba and the Crimea region of Ukraine. While edX has sought licenses from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to offer our courses to learners in these countries and regions, the licenses we have received are not broad enough to allow us to offer this program in all locations. EdX truly regrets that U.S. sanctions prevent us from offering all of our courses to everyone, no matter where they live.
