| Provision of these
comprehensive learning
materials ensures maximum
portability and access,
enabling you to focus
on your studies and
saving you time which
might otherwise be spent
on looking for relevant
material. Many
courses also have prescribed
textbooks which may
be ordered online from
the UNSW bookshop.
The study guide is the
starting point of your
weekly studies.
It is expected that
all participants will
have read the week’s
unit prior to attending
class or participating
in online class discussion.
All participants have
access to the vast online
resources of the UNSW
library, and borrowing
rights at your local
academic library can
usually be arranged.
Assessment
and feedback
Each MBT course has
a combination of assessment
activities, including
a participation component,
two or three assignments
and a final examination.
Assignment details and
marking criteria are
detailed in the overview
of each course.
Assignments will vary
from course to course,
and cover a variety
of tasks including essays,
reports, case studies
and work-based projects.
Every course has a
final exam. Where
possible, participants
sit their exams on campus
at UNSW. All other
participants nominate
an exam supervisor,
usually a manager in
their workplace, and
complete the exam at
work on the designated
exam date.
Interactive
classes
In the MBT Program we
believe that learning
opportunities are maximised
by sharing and discussing
knowledge and experiences
- not by learning in
isolation.
For each course you
undertake you will be
allocated to a class
with typically 25 to
28 co-participants,
and a Class Facilitator,
maximising opportunities
for participation and
interaction.
Unlike many conventional
distance learning programs,
the MBT places a high
value on interaction
- not only between you
and your Facilitator,
but also among all participants
in the class. Regardless
of which mode you choose,
the emphasis will be
on sharing knowledge
and skills.

The
MBT Program is
excellent in terms of
the flexibility in making
weekly contributions,
the application of theory
to the workplace, and
the sharing of information
and experiences by facilitators
and participants. THe
materials covered are
extensive, including
new business and ICT
developments across
the globe which keeps
me up to date. The flexibility
of the MBT has allowed
me to study while living
in Samoa the whole time.
I was also able to keep
a full time job and
raise four young children.
