The La Trobe MBA
Course Description
The La Trobe MBA offers a cutting-edge general management education with its focus on the internationally recognised Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and its Personal and Professional Development (PPSD) platform. The program builds on a long tradition of flexible delivery with two intakes per year, different delivery modes to suit different student needs (standard, flexible and accelerated options) and teaching times in the evening, weekends, and block modes.
Admission Requirements
An Australian Bachelor Degree, or international equivalent, with a minimum of a C grade average in the final year and three years of relevant postgraduate work experience.
Course Requirements
The La Trobe MBA will comprise 12 subjects (8 core and 4 elective) each worth 15 credit points (180 credit point total) and with 36 hours face-to-face teaching per subject. Additionally there are two Personal and Professional Development (PPSD) requirements: E-Portfolio (24 hours time requirement) and Boardroom Simulation (24 hours time requirement). These activities are compulsory and students must complete them to fulfil degree requirements. However, they are not credit-bearing, assessed, nor fee-bearing. The course will also include career sessions and guest lectures by industry leaders.
