What are residential schools?
MBA residential schools involve five consecutive days of intensive study for an MBA unit. Residentials are conducted at Deakin Management Centre, a world class, purpose built residential conference centre. In this format and executive environment, participants immerse themselves in the MBA topic, undertake innovative and experiential learning activities, and build their professional networks.
MBA residential schools complement other study modes and attract students who want to manage their work commitments by completing a unit in a compressed period. Of equal value is the opportunity to build professional networks and form enduring bonds with fellow participants and other managers.
Which units are offered in a residential format?
10 residential schools will be held in 2009, the units offered and scheduled dates are as follows.
