You will gain a holistic strategic business point-of-view required to operate effectively in an increasingly competitive and changing global business world.
The course has been designed to cover three stages:

2.Exploration, where you explore the latest thinking and practices in organisations and research worldwide, while developing skills in innovation and business transformation.
3.Integration and Application, where you develop your strategic decision-making skills, undertake a real-world business project and hone your personal effectiveness as a responsible leader.
Your learning approach will include relevant and current case studies as well as guest lectures delivered by industry professionals, with an emphasis on teamwork and peer learning.
You can study our Master of Business Administration as a 1.5 year degree or choose to study the Master of Business Administration Advanced as a 2 year degree.
