Career services
Defining your career vision and gaining the tools and knowledge you need to achieve success is critical. Throughout your MBA, our career services will provide you with coaching, career management tools and resources to help you refine your career goals and navigate the recruiting process.
Our career services have been designed to assist all part-time MBA students in the effective management of their careers, not just those actively seeking employment.
International Business Project (elective)
This 12 credit point unit of study is a two week intensive international module and gives you the opportunity to study and work in a different country. While the focus of the module varies according to location, some of the key themes addressed in the international module include the leadership and management challenges of entering new markets, managing across cultures and regulatory environments, identifying and realising new opportunities, and management and coordination challenges in multinational firms. You also work in a small team to provide strategic advice to an organisation, presenting detailed analysis and recommendations to them.
International Social Enterprise Project (elective)
This unit takes students to India for an intensive immersion into the themes of social entrepreneurship and innovation by restriction. The traditional lines between private, public and non-profit sectors are being blurred by the emergence of social enterprise and shared value. That is, social entrepreneurs are finding ways to build impact models that either break even financially, or even make profit. They have done so by engaging innovative business models to solve social and environmental problems on local and global levels. Students study these themes within the context of working in teams on a real social enterprise business problem regarding strategy and scale. At the end of the unit students have developed a working knowledge of the ideas of innovation by restriction, how to overcome issues of scaling a social enterprise in an emerging market, and cultural intelligence about working overseas. Students are expected to reflect on how the key themes and lessons can be applied to their own professional environments back in Australia.
