One of the MBT's unique

Employer
benefits
The MBT is an applied
graduate business program
for experienced managers
and professionals. Courses
are specifically designed
to be studied part-time,
with course content
immediately applicable
to the workplace.
The MBT is both practical
and scholarly, having
class activities and
assignments that provide
the opportunity to apply
theory to real-world
situations. Most courses
include work-based assignments
which increase participants’
understanding of both
course content and their
own organisation simultaneously.
By increasing their
understanding of the
multi-disciplinary functions
that are integral to
modern-day organisations,
MBT participants acquire
a broader professional
viewpoint together with
relevant, up-to-date
knowledge and skills.
This benefits not only
the participant, but
also their employer.

The
MBT Program experience
was overwhelmingly positive.
The program offered
the flexibility of selecting
from a great range of
courses to suit your
interests and learning
needs combined with
the flexibility of distance
learning. I found the
course materials to
be first rate and the
course leaders to be
engaging and extremely
knowledgeable in their
fields. I recommend
the MBT program to anyone
looking for a broad
learning experience
from a world leading
institution.

I
found the MBT Program
to be very challenging
and rewarding. The broad
range of courses on
offer was helpful in
tailoring the program
to my requirements and
making it relevant;
having no core courses
also meant that I did
not have to repeat any
courses taken during
my undergraduate degree.
In addition, many of
the assignments had
to be based on workplace
situations, which helped
to apply classroom theory
to real-world business
scenarios. The flexible
method of delivery also
made it easier to balance
family life, work and
travel. Class facilitators
were very knowledgeable
and did a great job
in generating discussion
amongst the group. I
would thoroughly recommend
the MBT Program.
