Before You Apply
Entry Requirements and How You're Assessed
You’ll typically need one of the following:
- A Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in business, management, or a related subject
- A Bachelor’s degree in an unrelated subject, alongside relevant international or business experience
Don’t have a degree? We can assess your application through APEL (Accredited Prior Experiential Learning), where a portfolio of your professional experience can substitute for a formal qualification.
Every applicant needs to pass a short academic interview and show a good enough level of English, either through a qualification you already have or an assessment we arrange.
There’s no single make-or-break final exam. You’re assessed continuously, through the kind of work you’d actually do in a job:
- Written reports and essays
- Class presentations
- Project work and case studies
- Group assignments
- Portfolios and reflective journals
- In-class activities and practical tasks
The course is broken into units, so you’re assessed as you complete each one, not by cramming everything into exam season.
