Message from the Dean
It is always a privilege to be able to launch a new program, and the MBA (Professional) is especially exciting.
Our new degree is a 16 subject MBA that offers increased flexibility. We've added a new study mode and changed the structure of the degree to allow it to be completed more quickly.
The MBA (Professional) can be studied in two modes. Mode one consists of ‘traditional' part time study where students study during the evenings; mode two consists of a series of weekend intensive blocks. Students who choose the block mode of delivery can complete the degree in two years.
The two mode delivery has been developed based on feedback we have received from our students. We recognise that for some, work and family commitments can constitute a powerful barrier to traditional part time study access. The intensive mode of delivery has been developed with these students in mind.
The MBA (Professional) degree allows you to transfer between modes, enabling your study commitments to keep pace with work and family changes. This flexibility provides an option for those who may have deferred or postponed study previously to continue with the course.
Both modes of delivery encourage teamwork amongst students. Regardless of whether you study in the traditional or intensive mode you will foster lasting relationships with your fellow students via the use of syndicate networking teams.
We believe that almost anyone in a managerial or professional role will find something in the MBA (Professional) program for them. We're seeking dedicated and passionate students who can commit the time required for successful completion of this challenging and rewarding program.
If that sounds like you, then I look forward to seeing you in class.
