Common questions

Before you apply.

Do I need a business degree before applying for an MBA?

Some pathways accept graduates from different disciplines, subject to the institution’s admission review. Your academic record and professional experience will be assessed.

What is the difference between a DBA and a PhD?

A DBA is generally practice-focused and applies research methods to organisational or industry problems. A PhD usually places greater emphasis on creating theoretical academic knowledge.

Can my work experience help my application?

Professional experience can strengthen an application, especially for executive and doctoral routes. It does not automatically replace formal entry requirements unless the institution’s policy allows it.

Will I stop working during the programme?

The featured programmes are designed for online or flexible learning, but you should still plan sufficient weekly time for classes, reading, assessments and projects.
