Program Description

The Master of Business and Technology Program aims to equip managers and professionals with the skills and knowledge to be effective in a business environment driven by technology. The unique combination of courses provides participants with the intellectual tools to manage business, technology and where they intersect. The MBT is designed to be undertaken in part-time mode, in combination with full-time employment. Participants benefit from applying core course concepts to their workplace and experience.

The MBT can be taken in either face-to-face or in distance mode. Participants receive comprehensive course materials and are allocated to a small class of approximately 20 - 25 participants. Classes can be either face-to-face on campus, meeting once a week for 1.5 hours or virtual, accessed via the internet. Class discussion is enriched by a student cohort of mature-age professionals and managers who bring a diversity of experience from a wide cross section of industry.
