The scholarships provide attractive career opportunities for graduates with qualifications in this field.
Each Scholarship covers part of the applicant’s tuition fees over a period of 2 years (applicants shall be responsible for their personal expenses including personal textbooks, library, stationery, printing costs etc).
Degrees and qualifications awarded by APIC are formally recognised and accredited by the government in Australia and have the same standing as those awarded by Australian Universities.
APIC’s programs can turn graduates into competent professionals ready to function in today’s challenging environment. Courses are taught by an internationally regarded team of academics and leading practitioners. Also APIC has advanced tools and systems supporting individual learning and development in a dynamic fashion. Unlike traditional learning methods, APIC’s approach is project-based and supported by a suite of advanced competence-based tools and support systems. Real project, program and organisation units are used as the site of learning.
What are the objectives of APIC’s programs?
What are the objectives of the MBA course?
MBA graduates will acquire knowledge of contemporary project, program and systems management as well as high level professional skills and attitude. The emphasis is on the enhancement of specific professional skills and knowledge, undertaken in a combination of coursework and research, and the acquisition of competencies needed to perform in a complex environment/project/program. It is possible to study MBA in one of the 4 industry streams that APIC offers:
(1) Construction & Infrastructure;
(2) IT and Services;
(3) Industrial and Process Plant; and
(4) Manufacturing and General.
One of the most significant aspects of the course design and objectives is the emphasis placed on development of strategic and business expertise associated with projects, programs and organisations in a particular industry stream. This approach maximises employability prospects. This emphasis is one of the differentiating aspects of the courses APIC offers in this field.
What is the scope of MBA?
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is awarded upon completion of 12 course units and the Research Project. On commencement of studies all candidates are required to complete the Professional Development Planning (PDP) workshop.

What is the educational philosophy at APIC?
Competency acquisition is generally internal to the actors who engage with the project and the host environment. Of course, there is intervention in terms of advice and mentoring, i.e. models needed to interpret the complex settings and the attendant challenges, theories, techniques and tools, assessment and feedback etc. This model of learning must not be confused with unstructured learning or ad-hoc experience.
To accelerate the learning process, each course unit commences with an intensive knowledge workshop that lays the foundation for accelerated learning and acquisition of superior capabilities. Workshops are taught by leading academics and practitioners in the field. Students then receive mentoring and continuous feedback to conduct their project phase.
Under APIC’s approach individual learning deepens within a context and process. Typically students work on challenging assignments under which they study real life managerial issues and challenges, make sense of the same, design and apply their own actions then evaluate the results, adjust their actions and continue the process till they can meet or exceed their goals in an optimal manner. The whole environment is rich with opportunities for engagement, reflection and learning.
When does it start and how long does it take?
The MBA duration is 2 years of full time studies (4 semesters).
See Academic Calendar for next available dates.Applications close one month prior to the semester start date. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
What is the mode of study?
Who is qualified to win these scholarships?
Are there any constraints and conditions?
Part time work is allowed provided that it will not be at the expense of the studies. All students can also work full time during the recess times.
