Overview

ماجستير حوكمة الشركات. MSc Corporate Governance at Imperial University in Cairo: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. The award is fully online. There is no campus to attend. MSc Corporate Governance is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 180. Students move from The problem and who decides through The problem and who decides; Evidence for a briefing; Options; Consultation and record; Implementation; Capstone: policy file, and finish on Capstone: policy file. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read. Reading is a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. The artefact a marker expects is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in Corporate Governance Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 180 credits and 1,800 hours.

S1DFJ01	The problem and who decides The problem and who decides (S1DFJ01) is a 30-credit course on MSc Corporate Governance, with 300 notional learning hours. By the end, students can say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read, using The problem and who decides as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree.
