Part 2: About Entry Requirement

第二部分：關(guān)于入學要求

Q1: What is the entry requirement for China applicants for GCBA and MBA respectively?

中國學生申請GCBA和MBA分別有什么入學要求？

The entry requirement is the same across all applicants.They need to present at least an equivalent of AQF Diploma.For China, normally this would be Certificate of Graduation(畢業(yè)證書)or Graduation Diploma(畢業(yè)文憑)which could be equivalent to either an AQF Diploma or Advanced Diploma.We would need to look at the qualification to be able to identify whether it is equivalent to a Diploma or Advanced Diploma.And depending on whether they have business related work experience and the number of years of experience, they will be eligible for either GCBA or direct MBA.For both GCBA and direct MBA, there is a possibility that an applicant can enter without having an equivalent AQF Diploma.In this case, they would need to present at least 5 years business experience for GCBA entry or at least 7 years business experience, including 2 years in a management position for direct MBA(for detailed entry requirement, please refer to the PSB Academy brochure).所有申請者的入學要求是一樣的。他們至少需要出示等同于澳洲大專學歷的文憑。對于中國生而言，通常這會是和任何一個AQF大?；蛘吒呒壌髮ＷC書同等的畢業(yè)證書，如任何的三年制的大專畢業(yè)證書或本科學位證書，同時我們也會參考申請著相關(guān)的商業(yè)工作經(jīng)驗及工作時間的長短。

對沒有同等的AQF大專文憑的申請者也有機會申請，只要申請者有5年以上的商業(yè)工作經(jīng)驗則可以直接讀GCBA。或者申請者有7年且其中兩年是管理層工作的工作經(jīng)驗，則可以直接讀工商管理碩士（詳細的入學要求，請咨詢360教育集團新加坡部顧問）。

Q2: For fresh UG degree graduates, to apply for UON MBA, it is required that bachelor degree is in the discipline, can you please define “in the discipline”? Is the discipline such as HRM and Tourism defined as “in the discipline”?

對于剛畢業(yè)的本科生申請紐卡斯爾大學的工商管理碩士，本科專業(yè)需要是商科相關(guān)的，您是否能說明一下商科相關(guān)的專業(yè)范圍？例如人力資源管理和旅游是否包含在這個相關(guān)學科里面？

“In the discipline” would be in the business related areas.I believe accounting, finance, organizational behavior, economics, marketing, management, international business;human resource management, entrepreneurship etc.would be considered in the discipline.And any degrees with components of these disciplines could potentially be accepted provided they took sufficient amount of business related courses.For non-straight forward qualifications pre assessments will require approval from our Program Convenor.“學科相關(guān)”指的是和商科相關(guān)的，比如會計、財務(wù)、組織行為學、經(jīng)濟學、市場營銷、管理、國際業(yè)務(wù)、人力資源管理、創(chuàng)業(yè)等，都可以看作是商科相關(guān)的學科。另外，任何有這些學科在內(nèi)的專業(yè)能夠說明他們在商科領(lǐng)域有相關(guān)的知識，都有可能申請。對于非商科專業(yè)背景的學生，需要我們的MBA課程負責人逐個案例審核通過才可以。

Q3: Can internship or part-time jobs be counted as working experience?

實習或者兼職是否可以累計算做工作經(jīng)驗？

Yes, internship or part-time jobs can be considered as work experience as long as it is relevant business related and meet the required number of years.實習或者兼職工作可以算是工作經(jīng)驗，只要這個工作經(jīng)驗和商業(yè)相關(guān)并且累積達到我們所要求的工作經(jīng)驗?zāi)晗蕖?/p>

Q4: For recognized diploma holders, they are eligible to apply for GCBA programme and after completing GCBA, students only need to study 8 modules to complete MBA programme.It is a competitive and attractive learning pathway in the market.But some applicants perceive it as low entry requirement and question the quality of UON MBA programme.Can UON share the position of GCBA and rational to offer GCBA?

對于持有認可的大專文憑者，他們有資格申請GCBA課程，并在GCBA課程完成后，學生只需要再學8門課便可以完成工商管理碩士。這在市場上是一個有競爭優(yōu)勢且有吸引力的學習模式。但是有一些申請者則會認為這代表修讀MBA課程的門檻低，并會懷疑我們課程的質(zhì)量。紐卡斯爾大學是否可以解釋一下GCBA課程及其對就讀MBA課程的幫助？

The GCBA allow students with prior learning in various fields and industry experience to have an opportunity to prepare for an advanced career in management in an extensive range of business areas.Students must study and pass the four compulsory courses which equip them with the required skills and knowledge to pursue further study, i.e.continue with the MBA.The rigorous training and the skills and knowledge obtained when studying these four courses will help students progress to the MBA.The quality of UON MBA programme is reflected via the competence of our students and their employability after graduation from the course.GCBA課程提供給各類學歷或行業(yè)背景并有志晉升管理層的學生一個機會。

申請GCBA的學生必須先通過四門必修課程，掌握了必要的技能和知識后才可繼續(xù)修讀更多的課程，如繼續(xù)攻讀工商管理碩士。在學習這四門課的過程中，學生通過嚴格的訓(xùn)練所獲得的技能和知識有助于并足以讓學生勝任繼續(xù)攻讀工商管理碩士。我們的工商管理的課程質(zhì)量可以通過學生的競爭力和畢業(yè)生的就業(yè)率來體現(xiàn)。

授課方法是授課和案例討論相結(jié)合。我們會邀請行業(yè)專家做客座講師，和學生分享他們的行業(yè)經(jīng)驗。另外我們也為學生提供實地考察的機會。

Q3: What is the assessment mode? And what is the weightage for each assessment mode?
