considerable relevant experience and level of
responsibility in industry or business.
Duration
The program can be undertaken by one year of full-time
study or two years of part-time study.
The program can also be combined with the Swinburne
Bachelor of Engineering and requires only a further six
months of full-time study or one year of part time study
after completion of the four and a half year degree
program. In its combined mode, the program offers a fasttrack
to management education for graduates of Swinburne
Engineering degrees. The coursework and case studies at
the graduate level relate management ~rinci~les and
practice particularly to technologies learnt during the
undergraduate course.
Studies include the environmental and social impacts of
successful professional practice, business planning, personal
skills such as speaking, negotiating, communicating, team
work and leadership, as well as the more conventional
business studies. Students are expected to spend at least the
equivalent class contact hours per week in private study.
Course strudure
The program comprises ten course subjects delivered over
two years. The program introduces students to
fundamental concepts of management, extends knowledge
of the theory and practice of management within an
enterprise and integrates theoretical knowledge with the
capacity to apply such knowledge in practice.
Integration of theory and practice is an overriding
philosophy for all courses. Where possible session
presentations maximise application of 'Pracademia' where
courses are team taught by academics and practitioners to
ensure focus is squarely fixed on current management
3 practice.
