- Study Level: Postgraduate
- Duration: 24 months
Learn how to drive change in a complex economy with the MBA Global.
Course Overview
The Master of Business Administration (Global) program is available to students with a bachelor's degree in any discipline but with little or no work experience. Students will study a standard broad-based business curriculum since many will have neither a first degree in business or commerce nor work experience in which they have developed these basic competencies. They also seek opportunities to build their practical business skills and experience; hence this program has compulsory career-ready placement and internship components.
The program provides support to students to reflect on their own strengths and development needs, and to build personal skills in leadership, problem-solving and communication. The MBA (Global) allows students to build confidence and capability to operate in a wide range of countries. The typical MBA (Global) graduate would seek a graduate entry position in a multi-national enterprise or corporation and the program should prepare them for this career.
