Use the following as a guide to calculate the time to complete the Global MBA Degree. You may choose to increase or decrease your study load in any term. There are six terms (study periods) per calendar year.

**This is the minimum time possible to complete the Global MBA degree.

All 20 units in the first five specialisations (Leading, Influencing, Strategising, Analysing and Adapting) must be completed before enrolling in the first two capstone (Problem Solving) units, GMBA8121 Advise and GMBA8122 Be curious. Only after completing these units, can you enrol in GMBA8123 Applied immersion 1 and GMBA8124 Applied immersion 2.

The capstone units are delivered in pairs. This means that you will need to enrol in GMBA8121 Advise and GMBA8122 Be curious at the same time, as well as GMBA8123 Applied immersion 1 and GMBA8124 Applied immersion 2 in the following term.

There are no electives in the program.

Each term consists of 6 weeks. There are 6 terms per year.

As a guide, we recommend allowing 12.5 hours per week per unit (including the 1-hour live event). Please also consider that some units will require group work.

Live events are facilitated by your unit convenor weekly for one hour to discuss unit content with your classmates. You will have the opportunity to interact with your classmates in real-time. While attending live events is not compulsory, they are highly recommended. If you cannot attend, they are recorded for you to watch in your own time.

Please note that each unit is offered twice per year with alternating live event timings (AM/PM) to accommodate different timezones.

Please refer to the unit guides (2020 and 2021) of your unit for assessment information and the live event schedule. Unit guides are published 2 weeks before the start of term.
