What is the aim of this short course?

This short course aims to give you a ‘taster’ of what it is like to undertake postgraduate study via online learning with Charles Sturt University. The short course is based on the first few weeks of subject MGT501, which is one of the core subjects in the Master of Business Administration (Computing).

In addition to the weekly hour-long interactive webinars, you will be provided with a range of written and video resources, questions from the discussion forums, and weekly activities to complete.

 

Is there a final exam?

Do I get a completion certificate if I complete the course?

Are there any prerequisites for the course?

Will the course qualify me for university credit?
