Overview

Overview

• An Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an advanced general management degree designed for managers who wish to develop a solid business foundation, as well as skills and knowledge of cutting-edge business practices for the 21st century. At Griffith we offer two Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, both are focused around our values of responsible leadership; sustainable business practices; and a global perspective with the aim of making you an effective globally responsible business leader. The two programs we offer differ in their delivery style; one is fully flexible and can be studied online or face to face in a standard 12 week trimester (MBA program 5158). The accelerated program is online only, and each course is delivered over a 6 week period (MBA program 5670). These two delivery styles allow you to choose the method of study that suits you best and both programs are assessed authentically meaning that you can apply what you learn to your workplace with immediate benefit.
• In both programs you will study courses in sustainability, accounting and reporting, finance, people management, strategy and innovation and managing change through responsible leadership. Through study you will be equipped with an understanding of the key functional areas within a business and the challenges facing businesses. If you choose the fully flexible option you can choose to focus your electives in a particular area for example, finance, marketing or supply chain management. The accelerated online MBA program has twelve set courses and no electives.

Attendance information:

• The Master of Business Administration is offered full-time on-campus in Trimester 1 and 2 and is also available to students through a blended delivery format, combining online materials with access to the presentations of academics and external speakers. You may choose to study courses online and at other campuses if or where the program structure or your student visa allows.
• The Master of Business Administration program is also offered online. The online program is not available to international students studying in Australia on a student visa.
• International students must maintain a full-time study load. If you are an International student on a student visa you must ensure that you enrol in a way that will allow you to complete your enrolment within the expected program duration as stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
• Attendance will normally be 3 hours per week per course for standard delivery or equivalent amount of time for courses delivered in intensive or online mode. As a full-time student, you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the trimester.
• Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week, as well as in intensive mode (several full days in a row, often including at least some weekend class time). Sufficient classes will be scheduled in the evenings and in intensive mode to accommodate part-time students with employment or other responsibilities that limit weekday course engagement.
• International students are expected to make themselves available to attend all Orientation sessions commencing from day 1 of Orientation week. International students who cannot arrive in the country to begin studies by teaching week 1, must gain prior permission from the Master of Business Administration (MBA) Director to commence the program in that particular trimester.
