Study planning details
Pre-requisites
All 20 units in the first five specialisations (Leading, Influencing, Strategising, Analysing and Adapting) must be completed before enrolling in the first two capstone (Problem Solving) units, GMBA8121 Advise and GMBA8122 Be curious. Only after completing these units, can you enrol in GMBA8123 Applied immersion 1 and GMBA8124 Applied immersion 2.
Co-requisites
The capstone units are delivered in pairs. This means that you will need to enrol in GMBA8121 Advise and GMBA8122 Be curious at the same time, as well as GMBA8123 Applied immersion 1 and GMBA8124 Applied immersion 2 in the following term.
There are no electives in the program.
As a guide, we recommend allowing 12.5 hours per week per unit (including the one-hour live event). Please also consider that some units will require group work.
Please refer to the unit guides of your unit for assessment information and the live event schedule. Unit guides are published two weeks before the start of term.
Timetable
You can plan ahead and get an idea of when the classes are scheduled for each term. Each term consists of six weeks.
Live events
Weekly one-hour live events facilitated by your unit convenor provide you with the opportunity to interact with your classmates. While attendance is not compulsory, it is highly recommended. If you cannot attend, session recordings are available.
