The UTS MBA is designed for early-career professionals seeking to either extend their knowledge and capabilities into managerial roles or to change careers into a new field of business.
The flexible 16-subject program features a core of six subjects that introduce students to key managerial and business concepts, with the ten remaining subjects allowing a choice of major, sub-majors and or electives.
All MBA subjects are approved by an industry board that insists on 'relevance to workplace' as a pre-eminent subject design principle.
The MBA provides knowledge and skills that are essential for superior management performance.There are many reasons to do the UTS MBA, with the course providing the flexibility to adapt to each student's unique educational needs, background and career aspirations.
Students can structure the program to suit their needs.
For example, choosing a major with sub-major or electives, or two sub-majors and two electives, or one sub-major plus six electives from throughout the business school.
The course comprises 96 credit points, made up of six compulsory core subjects (totalling 36 credit points) and ten elective subjects (totalling 60 credit points).
Electives can be taken in one of three ways: as one major (six subjects, totalling 36 credit points) and one sub-major or electives (totalling 24 credit points), as two sub-majors (24 credit points for each sub-major) and two electives (12 credit points), or as one sub-major (24 credit points), plus six mixed electives (36 credit points).
