Course Overview
Overview
AIM Business School understands that business managers and leaders come from diverse educational and professional backgrounds. Some have extensive formal qualifications, while others have gained all their expertise from on-the-job experience.
This is why we have designed our Master of Business Administration (Applied AI Leadership) with an articulation pathway which has entry requirements that can be met with management experience alone. This is the Future-Focused MBA Pathway.
You begin your study on this pathway with the Graduate Certificate in Applied AI Leadership, which teaches you the fundamentals of conventional business leadership and the strategy and application of AI and data analytics. Then you progress to the Graduate Diploma to more deeply explore emerging technologies and digital leadership, as well as gain essential business acumen in decision-making, finances, and marketing.
Finally, you progress to the Master of Business Administration (Applied AI Leadership) where you put all your learned skills into practice with an Applied Capstone Project. You also have the opportunity to further specialise your study with three elective units.
This progression provides you both immediate impact for your career and long-lasting growth, enabling you to further your education and personal development in an incremental, yet continuous manner. Even while studying just a single unit at time, you could achieve one stage of the Future-Focused MBA Pathway every 8 months.
You go the extra mile to add postgraduate study into your schedule, and your degree should do the same. Our online MBA supports your potential with unique benefits, including:
