Electives – Professional Tracks

The elective component of the MBA program is designed to allow each student to tailor make the MBA program to suit their individual personal and professional goals and aspirations.

Students may choose to either broaden their educational experience by undertaking a variety of electives or to choose a professional track (specialisation in a specific professional or industry field).

In choosing either a broadening educational experience or a professional track, students must attend two career management workshops designed to allow them to explore their career opportunities. Following participation in the workshops, the next step is to meet with an academic adviser to discuss elective options.
