Three years of full-time study commencing in January or September each year. International students must commence the MBA 16 month program format in January or 20 month program format in September (including internship term).
The program structure utilises the full calendar year - maximising the number of subjects undertaken each year, and minimising the total time taken to complete the program.
Successful completion of the program requires students undertake 22 JD subjects and 15 MBA subjects (compared to 24 subjects for JD and 20 MBA for the individual degrees)
