Academic background and requirement

The duration of the program will depend on your background.  Holders of a cognate undergraduate degree and two years’ work experience are eligible for advanced standing (i.e. normally 1 semester of credit) and hence, a reduced duration (1.5 years).

The College of Sciences and Engineering may accept as a candidate for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Maritime Management a person who has:

  1. An undergraduate degree of an Australian higher education institution or the equivalent standard in any other institution and at least two years' work experience (NOTE 1.); or,
  2. A Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Maritime Management or a related discipline; or,
  3. A professional qualification such as a Certificate of Competency as a Master Class 1 (Unlimited) or Chief Engineer and at least two years' work experience; or,
  4. If a first degree or professional qualification is not held, candidates may apply to the Department of Maritime and Logistics Management for consideration as a candidate. These applicants are assessed on their work experience, current managerial responsibilities and any other qualifications.

NOTE 1: An applicant lacking the requirement of at least two year’s work experience will normally need to complete Graduate Certificate in Maritime Management before being admitted to MBA in Maritime Management

In some instances, however, students may be admitted directly to MBA in Maritime Management but will still need to successfully complete all four units in their first semester of enrolment (i.e. the equivalent of Graduate Certificate in Maritime Management) in order to be allowed to continue in the course.
