The Master of Business Administration (Biotechnology) is a 54-unit program which is part of the Graduate Program in Business Administration offered by the College of Business, Government and Law.
This specialisation articulates with the 18-unit Graduate Certificate in Business Administration and the 36-unit Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (Biotechnology) specialisation, and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the three awards.
Students who have completed the Graduate Diploma normally receive credit for up to 36 units of topics towards the Masters degree.
Alternatively, students enrolled directly in the Masters program may choose only to meet the requirements for the Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma and exit with that qualification.
Applicants for the Master of Business Administration (Biotechnology) specialisation will normally hold a bachelor degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution, OR have completed the Graduate Diploma of Business Administration.
Applicants are also required to have at least three years of work experience.
Applicants who satisfy the work experience requirement but are without a prior degree may apply through the pathway of the Graduate Certificate and the Graduate Diploma of Business Administration.
However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The course is designed to provide a strong foundation of business knowledge, skills and attitudes to support ethical, global business management of organisations including private sector business organisations, not-for-profit organisations and public organisations. Through experiential learning techniques students will develop knowledge and skills to conduct independent research, carry out industry and discipline related projects, with an emphasis on the biotechnology industry, and relate their learning to their individual business experience
