Master of Business University of Queensland - UQ

I'm doing the International business major.
The positive aspects of my course is that the faculty is good, the structure of the course is well designed and it is relevant to the industry .
The negative aspect is that it takes time for international students to adjust with the fast-paced course and it is easy to fall behind considering the university treats it as a full- time job

My advice to future students is: To stay updated with the events and workshops happening at the campus and to read the material and keep revising it before examinations.

I have completed only one semester, so there are no deep insights to give.

In first semester, one subject i took was not worthy of the money I paid.

If asked by a friend I'd say - "It's ok".

There are parts which are really good, practical and useful in the real world, then others which could be either cut, updated or improved.

Staff are engaging enough. Group work can be good, depending on your group.

This is a good learning resource. Good faculty and work on good assessment criteria.

Downside: it's compulsory to take modules that are of little or no use

Some courses are great, but there is a huge emphasis on group work which is important as it gives a sense of reality.

But basing large chunks of your grade on group work leaves some students with lesser marks than deserved and others with higher.

In the end, it is the luck of the draw. Which is scary if you are trying to perfect your gpa.

Similarly, some courses seem unnecessary for instance management communication. But, other courses are very interesting such as strategic branding and advertising.

I would definitely recommend this course to my friends.

The course is well balanced with theory and practical work.
