Program structure
There are two basic program structures:

• 12 courses taken over 1½ years of full-time study (or the part-time equivalent)
• 16 courses taken over two years of full-time study (or the part-time equivalent)

If you have an undergraduate degree in business or management or commerce you are eligible for the 12-course MBA. Further, business graduate certificates and graduate diplomas may make you eligible for the 12-course MBA.

If you have an undergraduate degree not in a business field you will study the 16-course MBA. However, applicants with substantive work and/or managerial experience can apply for credit thereby, reducing the number of required courses.

Applicants without formal educational qualifications but with substantive work and/or managerial experience are encouraged to apply.

Length of study
This depends upon three major aspects:

• whether you undertake the 12-course or 16-course MBA;
• where you study; and
• how you choose to study – full-time or part-time, face-to-face or online or intensive
