Dūcere announces partial MBA scholarships
The Dūcere Global Business School has announced partial scholarships for twelve Mentor Education past students and financial service industry professionals who would be able to undertake their Master of Business Administration (MBA) in innovation and leadership, the school’s founder & executive director Mathew Jacobson said.
The partial scholarship opportunity would act as an incentive for many industry practitioners seeking a course that links formal tertiary education with real world experience, Jacobson said.
The MBA is a collaboration between the University of Canberra and Dūcere’s global faculty, which comprised hundreds of world leaders from presidents and prime ministers, to Nobel prize winners, he said.
The course has no exams and embeds projects with organisations including NAB, KPMG, SEEK and the federal government, among others, Jacobson said.
“The MBA is a project–based curriculum in which students apply everything learnt to real world situations and practical challenges,” he said.
“Being immersed in the MBA’s challenges and working within team environments and with industry partners, students will develop important commercial skills they can apply and deliver in their professional and commercial endeavours.”
