Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The MBA course is designed to synthesise the development of graduates’ skills and knowledge of contemporary business management practices. The prime focus is on the application of those skills and the ability for graduates to tailor their studies through a variety of electives.
The structure ensures that graduates are prepared for middle and senior management roles in a broad range of industries. The masters course deepens the knowledge and skills acquired through the core units plus the flexibility for students to select 2 units of particular interest. Within the core, the capstone Applied Business Project ensures that competence in the application of skills and knowledge is demonstrated to current and/or prospective employers.
