JCU Online MBA Global Course Structure
Over the course of 12 subjects, you’ll gain the skills to make impactful strategic decisions based on a more holistic view of global trends and more pointed data-informed insights.
You’ll be able to solve complex problems through advanced data analysis. You’ll also develop the knowledge to become a competent leader, who drives sustainable growth and creates positive outcomes for your organisation and the world around you.
JCU MBA subjects are designed to improve your knowledge across three key areas:
- Global Perspective & Strategy
- Data-driven Decision Making
- Organisational Leadership & Management.
Should you need to exit the course for some reason, depending on when you do so, you could earn either a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma qualification.
To put your new skills to a real world test, as part of your Graduate Diploma or Master’s degree, you can choose to participate in a research-based, Global Capstone Project at either the Great Barrier Reef or the Daintree Rainforest. This final capstone subject will also be available in an online format for those who are unable to travel.
