Master of Health Science

at Navitas Group - Western Sydney University - Sydney City Campus Australia

If you’re looking for a solid business and management qualification to move you forward in the business world, our Master of Business Administration (MBA) has you covered. The course provides critical core knowledge, essential for a comprehensive understanding of the business environment.

You don’t need to have studied business before, or have relevant work experience – we start from the basics and build your business knowledge through the course.

The MBA has two optional specialisations, Finance or Management, or you can choose to study a non-specialised MBA.

• Finance - This specialisation introduces the fundamental concepts of finance theory – the time value of money, risk and return, capital budgeting and capital structure, and the tools of financial decision-making in the context of the Australian institutional environment. You will examine the investment, financing and dividend decisions of corporations and develop an understanding of the basic practices of financial management from the perspective of both large and small firms.
• .Management - This specialisation critically examines strategic management processes in various business, industry and economic contexts. It also explores the processes and challenges encountered by leaders in contemporary organisations, taking into account rapidly changing environments with a focus on quality management, risk management, and performance measurement and benchmarking. You will participate in experiential learning focussing on strategic leadership, visioning, situation analysis, objective setting and evaluation.

Work integrated learning
Gaining practical experience is a cornerstone of the MBA program, and is supported by our strong links with Australian businesses. You will have the opportunity to complete either a business internship or a business project unit, applying the knowledge you have gained during the course of your degree. These units provide you with the chance to solve a real-world business problem in collaboration with an organisation or business entity while completing an internship, or to undertake a research project in your chosen field.

The Bachelor of Engineering Science is offered as an entry program to a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). It is also offered as a three-year exit course for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

The course structure, core subjects and electives are similar to the first three years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) course. The Bachelor of Engineering Science is offered with key programs in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical Engineering (Major)
The mechanical engineering program covers the design of mechanical systems for a wide range of applications, including manufacturing, transportation and energy conversion.
The course delivers fundamental engineering principles, as well as an intensive hands-on laboratory program to provide the skills necessary for the design of machines, ensuring their functionality, safety and reliability.

In business, accounting knowledge is essential as all managers and executives must understand the importance and significance of accounting reports.

The Bachelor of Accounting will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of accounting, supported by the associated disciplines of law, economics, finance and statistics. The degree is unique in its scope and coverage offering a qualification in accounting and the opportunity to broaden your knowledge base with elective subjects from other disciplines.

Information Systems are becoming integral to modern culture and are a primary engine behind much of the world’s economic and social change. Today, to implement technology, practising professionals need to understand the context in which computer technology can best be selected, applied and implemented.

Mobile Computing (Major)
The Mobile Computing major covers theories and technologies used for the development of distributed applications for hand-held mobile devices. You will understand the advanced principles related to mobile hardware devices, data storage and transmission, and communication networks. In addition you will identify, analyse, and formulate solutions to real-world problems in the mobile domain.
