Description
Our MBA is designed to reflect and address the present day management challenges. It is designed to educate a new class of managers who can transform the state of thinking and practice in today’s technology-based organisations. The objective is to prepare individuals for the challenges of leadership and management of business and complex systems. The emphasis is on the acquisition of high level expertise and perspectives beyond the normative learning.
MBA graduates will demonstrate a command of contemporary business and management literature, theory and practice. They will display high level professional skills and attitude. A distinguishing character of the MBA program is its focus on both business (general) management and leadership in an integrated manner. The dual focus enables the student to acquire a systemic view of how businesses are organised while at the same time learning how teams and functions are formed and how leadership principles can be applied to promote a positive and creative culture within technology-based enterprises and leading industries.
Another distinguishing character is the focus on entrepreneurship and international business. Thus, the MBA aims to develop managers with vastly expanded knowledge and expertise in both business and management. Within this paradigm goals are defined that embrace sustainability and social responsibility at both corporate and operational level.
In summary, the MBA promotes unique models of management that infuse the concepts of sustainability in management decisions and processes reflecting the dynamic and complex nature of today’s business endeavours and enterprises. The enterprise model we apply in the MBA program installs the triple bottom line as the enterprise’s goals. Our approach makes sustainability a dimension of learning in all learning activities and learning projects pursued by our students.

Duration
Australian
The course may be studied in full time and/or part time modes allowing students complete flexibility in the management of their study. The normal duration is 2 years of full time studies (4 semesters). However, the number of units undertaken in each semester can be varied to suit individuals, subject to the total duration of candidature not exceeding 4 years (8 semesters) and subject to other conditions as advised at the time of enrolment.
International
The CRICOS-registered duration is 2 years of full time studies (4 semesters). Please note the part time mode is not available to international students on a student visa.
Offshore
APIC’s Offshore programs make it possible for you to undertake all or part of your Postgraduate courses outside of Australia. Programs can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Offshore students study the same learning program with the same quality education and use the same APIC materials as students undertaking the course on-campus in Australia. You will also undertake the same examinations and are assessed against the same levels of performance.
Students may choose to apply with APIC directly and study via the APIC online learning system. Alternatively, you can join the program offered by an APIC partner education institution in your preferred country, and study in the local campus.
Delivery Method
Each unit of study typically comprises a 4-day intensive workshop followed by project studies that involve completion of 4 major team assignments (whose scope vary depending on the unit under consideration). The assignments are conducted on real life projects/programs and or organisations where feasible. Students receive expert support during their project studies. The final assessment (viva) for each unit of study takes place upon completion of the project studies. The whole process is facilitated through mentoring and state-of-the-art frameworks, systems and tools.
All credit points gained as part of the Graduate Certificate in Business Management, the Graduate Diploma in Business Management or the Master of Business Management will count towards the MBA provided that the candidate does not exit the program (students may transfer their enrolments subject to conditions advised at the time of transfer).
Entry Requirements
1. Qualification Requirement
The admission process assesses a student´s ability to enrol in and successfully complete the course of their choice in the permitted time. Suitability of applicants to study a particular course is to a large extent determined by the admission rules and academic requirements.
Entry into any of the award courses the College offers is open to all applicants who possess a relevant Bachelor degree and or a Graduate degree from a recognised institution either in Australia and or overseas.
Those who have not completed a formal degree may be admitted into the program provided that they have at least completed a Diploma or Advanced Diploma in a recognised institution or hold an equivalent qualification and have relevant industry experience. Eligibility for admission through the flexible entry will be determined on a case by case basis (a charge may apply for assessing certain cases).
All credit points gained as part of the Master of Business and Project Management or Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate in Project Management can count towards the MBA degree requirements.
2. English Level Requirement
For admission into one of the award courses APIC requires as a minimum one of the following English qualifications:
- Academic IELTS: Overall band score of 6.5 or better with no band below 6.0;
- TOEFL: 577 or better plus Test of Written English (TWE) at 4.5+;
- Academic PTE, minimum 59 to 64;
- CBT (Computer-based TOEFL): 233 with an Essay Rating of 4.5;
- IBT (Internet-based TOEFL): Overall score of 90 with a writing section minimum of 21;
- Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English: Grades A or B;
- CULT (Combined Universities Language Test): 75 or better with a minimum of 17.5 in each skill.
The qualification must be less than 2 years old.
Alternatively, applicants may be accepted if they have successfully completed 1 year of a Vocational qualification at a Diploma or Advanced level in Australia, or have successfully completed an Undergraduate or Postgraduate degree, in Australia or Overseas for a minimum of 2 years, within the last 24 months in which English has been the sole medium of instruction and examination. Those who do not meet the English requirements can be referred to English language centres to complete intensive courses in English prior to commencing their award courses at APIC. The length of these English courses varies, typically from 4 to 20 weeks. After completion of the intensive English course students may be requested to sit for an APIC placement test.
If immediately prior to applying for admission to APIC a student was enrolled and had been studying in a course offered by an Australian university comparable in level to that he or she has applied for in APIC, then the student will be admitted into the selected course. In all such cases APIC may still require students under consideration to complete additional English courses and pass the English for Academic Purposes test (minimum score 50) or equivalent tests within the first semester of their studies at APIC.
