Why study an MBA online

In a rapidly changing world, new skills are constantly needed to adapt and grow in your professional development. A Master of Business Administration (MBA) equips experienced professionals with a broad range of skills, enabling them to advance within their current organisation or pivot to a new industry. It is designed to give you a broad education, covering a range of leadership, management, strategic and interpersonal skills that are transferable across different roles and industries.

A traditional MBA is around 1.5 to 2 years and requires you to study full-time on campus, often while managing your full-time workload. However, an online MBA is a more affordable option, with no scheduled classes, you can learn at a pace that suits you.

Flexibility and affordability

An online MBA allows you to access your learning when it works for you. Designed with busy professionals in mind you can study at your own pace, having access to all learning materials and assessments upfront each trimester. You can create a schedule around your lifestyle, studying when it suits you, whether from work, home or a local café.

Jump ahead of the competition in the workforce and as a low-contact course, you pay less for your degree than a traditional MBA. The criteria for admissions are also flexible, taking into consideration previous study or work experience.
