Program Structure
Students in the MBA can choose from three structural options.
Option 1: General Management
This option is for students whose aspiration is to lead an organisation. It has the maximum of 10 core courses, supplemented by two electives.
Option 2: Specialisations
An MBA with a specialisation is for those students whose aspiration is to understand more about how businesses operate, but who ultimately seek to remain in a role closely aligned with their primary discipline area. Those undertaking a specialisation will undertake eight core courses, three electives in their area of specialisation and one general elective.
Option 3: Broad range of electives
This option requires students to undertake eight core courses plus four general electives. This version of the MBA is especially appealing to those who seek the breadth of exposure to contemporary management issues. |  | Career Services and Industry Placement Program
