Overview:

The Executive Master of Arts (EMA) is designed for graduates who are eager to shape leadership roles for themselves in the 21st century. It is a program which recognises the unique benefits to be had through combining traditional Arts strengths in analysis, ethics and critical reasoning with a skill set appropriate for managing resources, planning projects and delivering results in a dynamic contemporary environment.

Objectives: Refer to the course outline of the Executive Master of Arts (EMA)
Structure & Available Subjects:

The EMA curriculum has three key modules:

The Professional Skills module comprising of six compulsory subjects:

  • Leadership Theory and Practice
  • Thinking and Acting Ethically
  • Working the World
  • Budgets & Financial Management
  • Creative Thinking and the Power of Ideas
  • Professional Communication

The Discipline Module allows students to take six electives in the social sciences, humanities and languages. Subjects offered in the discipline module will not require previous study in that discipline and will be accessible to all EMA students regardless of the nature of their first degree.

The Applied Module requires students to undertake a compulsory subject on Project Management to prepare them for their work experience and then either:

  • an Internship of eight weeks in a corporate, NGO, government or international organisation, or
  • an eight week Group Project which involves working with an external organisation to find a solution to a real problem or challenge.
