Master of Business Administration
It is not compulsory to complete a career-ready placement course within the Master of Business Administration (and related combined programs). However, you do have the option of completing the directed course GSBS6061 Strategic Intervention Project.
In this course, you will tackle a real-world problem through a collaborate group project. You’ll work on a brief provided by an external industry client, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and mentorship from industry professionals. Note that enrolment into the course is via application to the course coordinator and you will be required to address a set of selection criteria when applying.
