MBS Programme Structure

How is the MBS taught?

The delivery model for the MBS is tailored to suit the needs of busy professionals. Our academics have developed a suite of in-person, remote and self-guided learning opportunities, ensuring learners have the flexibility to balance study, work and life commitments.

Block Days: 

Modules are delivered in intensive block days of learning and engagement. This format allows you to immerse yourself fully in each topic, collaborate with fellow participants, and engage in hands-on activities.

Theory to Practice: 

We bridge the gap between theory and practice. Every module connects academic concepts to real-world scenarios. You’ll leave with actionable insights you can apply immediately.

Assessments Aligned with Your Organisation: 

All assessments are directly linked to your own organisation. This ensures that your learning journey is relevant, impactful, and tailored to your workplace context. 

Research Project: 

As a participant, you’ll complete an action learning research project where you tackle a real problem or challenge within your organisation. Using an action learning approach, you’ll develop innovative solutions and drive positive change.
