Monash Mt Eliza Business School has established a twinning arrangement with the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Under the arrangements the School of Continuing Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong is responsible for teaching the first half of the MBA as the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (External). Successful students then have the option of graduating with the diploma or coming to Monash on a full-fee-paying basis for one academic year to complete the second half of the MBA degree. The course is available to international students only.

The Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (External) essentially covers the set of core subjects in the MBA. The general purpose of the program is to provide quality education for those wishing to move into positions of general management or be managers of one of the specialist functions of management.

Course objectives

On completion of the course students should have:

the necessary analytical skills concerning both the foundation as well as the functional areas of management;
developed an understanding of the social, economic and political environment of business.
