Maldives Business School delivers its teaching online, through virtual classes, recordings of sessions and a student portal.

Its offer runs from MQA level 4 to level 9. Entry-level routes include a four-month University Preparation Programme for applicants aged 20 or over with at least two years in employment and a grade 10 pass, and a Certificate 4 in either business or information technology.

Bachelor's programmes cover accounting and finance, project management, business administration and human resource management, while the Master of Business Administration and the Master of Human Resource Management form the postgraduate range, taught three classes a week. A four-month Pre-Masters Programme, approved by the Maldives Qualifications Authority, admits older applicants who hold a diploma or associate degree plus several years of employment instead of a bachelor's degree.

Bachelor's students placed under the Free First Degree Scheme run by the government study free of charge and must notify the ministry responsible for higher education if they change programme.

Students may request a programme change only within the first month of a semester, needing the Registrar's approval. Examinations are sat remotely using Safe Exam Browser, a webcam and a Zoom exam room.

Library access includes Perlego and EBSCO journals.
