Program structure
The Melbourne MBA takes three years to complete on a part-time basis. Our academic calendar comprises three 13 week terms each year, with each term being made up of 12 weeks of teaching and a final examination week.
| Term 1 | Term 2 | Term 3 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | The World of Management (1 week intensive) | Managing People for High Performance Accounting for Managers | Marketing Data & Decisions | Managerial Economics Economics & Public Policy |
| Year 2 | Managing Processes Financial Management | Business Strategy Elective 1 | * | |
* Elective subject 2-10 are completed over subsequent terms, usually at a rate of two subjects per term.
A flexible program
The average part-time study load is two subjects a term, with most part-time students completing the course in about three years. However, the School recognises the demands that work and personal life place on part-time students. This means that students may elect to take a lighter study load (of one subject) in a particular term or may wish to take a term away from study. Similarly, part-time students may increase their study load at any time providing there are suitable extra subjects being taught in a particular term.
In addition, students may complete the program more quickly, by transferring to the full-time program. Part-time MBA students are eligible to transfer to the full-time program in January and September, providing that all core subjects have been completed. However, the School can sometimes accommodate other transfer points, to be determined on an individual basis.
Students may discuss a variation in study load either prior to application or at any time during the program, with the Student Services Course Adviser.
