Overview

Overview

This specialist Master of Business Administration (MBA) major has a curriculum offering students a more detailed understanding and engagement with current and future leadership challenges. Students are constantly required to analyse and reframe leadership concepts alongside their own leadership styles in order to gain an understanding of organisations and develop their practical skills. Students will also be required to apply, test, and evaluate their analytical, leadership and management skills in the workplace and further their professional and personal development through action learning that is transferrable to real organisations. By exploring the philosophy and ethics of leadership and covering a range of topics including working with teams, working in a global arena, effective and strategic management and organisational behaviour, graduates will leave the course with a more strategic understanding and engagement with leadership.

Please refer to the handbook for additional course overview information.
