MC192 - Master of International Business

The program is designed to be a flexible program of study underpinned by an online student learning management platform that can be accessed anywhere, anytime throughout the semester. The MBA can be undertaken part-time or full-time. There will be opportunities for intensive learning, and students have the opportunity to undertake an international study tour. Lecturers will utilise a range of teaching and learning methodologies. The pedagogical approach is teacher-centred and student-centred which is well suited to the learning styles of recent graduates (see Joyce, B., M. Weil & E. Calhoun [2004] Models of Teaching, 7th ed., Boston: Allyn & Bacon). Particular attention will be paid to presenting content in ways that expose you to the world of work, particularly content that covers the principles and practices related to the management and organization of work and workplaces. Solving business problems with a business design thinking problem-solving approach is incorporated throughout the program.

A variety of methodologies will be used, including the formal dissemination of content, audio-visual presentations, presentations by industry professionals, simulations and other complimentary approaches, which provide opportunities for you to link the courses' content and skill development requirements with the management and organisation of work and workplaces.

Through issue-based seminars, case study analyses, simulations, student presentations, student-based topic investigations, and class discussions, you will gain an understanding of the nature of the business constructs as they impact on the regulatory environment, business operations, organisational processes, and performance.

Problem-based learning: In the Master of Business Administration, you may work in a team or individually to conduct research, solve problems, analyse and respond to case studies, prepare or respond to briefs, write original research or case study reports, or participate in managing a company in a computer-based business simulation. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working in business.

Flexible delivery: The program incorporates extensive use of online resources with links to core activities, authentic learning content and applies to real-world contexts, enabling you to engage in practical and applied learning and your learning journey and submit assessments conveniently.

Assignments and projects: These may be either research or problem based, and may be undertaken in teams or individually. They will provide you with experience at undertaking research and writing effectively to present your findings and recommendations to a range of audiences.

The assessment philosophy utilises a range of appropriate measures linked to the program and course outcomes. Assessment tasks include: business plan/reports, academic essays, in-class and online presentations, blogs, group reports and computer simulations.

A critical feature of all assessment tasks is the requirement to link rigorous academic literature with your work experience. Reflective practice is encouraged to apply new knowledge and insights towards effective and professional business practices.

Depending on courses selected, your progress is assessed by a combination of group and individual assignments. Over the duration of your program you will experience a variety of teaching and learning approaches. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the learning outcomes and core capabilities they are designed to develop.

The assessment you must complete is designed to provide you with opportunities to demonstrate the extent to which you have achieved specific learning outcomes in a given area. Methods of assessment will also vary with the learning outcomes of the relevant course that may include case studies, research projects and reports.
