Flexible pathway towards your MBA
The Global MBA program provides you with the flexibility to start on the path toward your degree via multiple avenues in a stackable format:
- Start today by taking one of the open courses from the degree and experience the exceptional quality of content before you apply for the GMBA.
- Enrol for a single subject unit of the degree and receive credit, which will be applied towards your GMBA if you decide to enrol.
- Consider a MasterTrack, which offers a segment of the degree packaged for specific areas of expertise, and you will be able to transfer your credits if you enrol in the MBA later.
- You can also enrol in the Graduate Certificate of Global Business Practice for a pathway option to the degree, or if you’re looking for a valuable standalone qualification that’s a shorter commitment than a full MBA.
The Global MBA offers flexible entry and exit points. With 6 intakes every year you can start when it’s most convenient for you. You can also pay as you go, meaning you only pay for the units you sign up for every term.
