Master of Business Administration (Professional)
Holmes Institute, Multi-campus (Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast), Australia
About this program
The MBA (Professional) is Holmes Institute's 2 year, full time extended MBA for students who want to go deeper than the standard 1.5 year MBA, doubling the elective load to 8 units so students can complete one or two specialisations (Accounting, International Business and Enterprise, Healthcare Management, Information Systems or Project Management) alongside the same 8 core units as the standard MBA.
The course is marketed at aspiring executives, entrepreneurs and consultants who want both practical business skills and the depth to lead innovation and change, and it shares the same accounting, economics, finance, marketing, statistics, management, strategy and research core as Holmes's standard MBA, differing mainly in the size and structure of its elective/specialisation block.
