The AUT Master of Business Administration (MBA) develops your leadership skills and is an invaluable tool to further your business career.
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is for those aspiring to senior management level, those already in senior management who want to realise their full potential, or those who are self-employed looking for the business skills to succeed.
The MBA is highly regarded by employers and designed to offer you maximum flexibility. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of the fast paced and complex business environment, where leaders need an advanced understanding of all business divisions and managing cross-cultural teams. You learn from staff who are leaders in their field, and classes focus on current professional practice and the experiences, learning and challenges of your own work environment.
To graduate with an MBA you must successfully complete 180 points, made up of core papers (135 points) and elective papers (45 points).
You can choose how many papers you take per term to fit around work demands and personal commitments, provided you complete the qualification within four years. You can continue working full-time while completing your MBA part-time.
All papers are 7.5 points each unless stated otherwise. Each paper involves six weeks of class learning; one three-hour class per week. This is followed by an examination week then a one-week preparation period for the following term. You can start the MBA at any one of the six terms.
