STUDY
Diploma Thesis
Students are required to submit a diploma thesis. The thesis should offer an original application of knowledge in the area of management and should demonstrate the students’ ability to integrate rigorous academic analysis with practical real-world relevance and application within topics covered by this course.
Possible Forms
The chosen subject should be considered in terms of future career plans. Students have been offered positions as a direct result of their MPA Capstone project. The project can take many forms:
- research-based thesis (20,000 words)
- policy analysis and recommendations
- case study
- combination of these
Tip
A popular option among students is to work with an organisation on a project that will add value to its business. The output is a report combining the student’s experience and MBA knowledge to provide research, analysis and recommendations. A supervisor works with students to facilitate engagement.
Vocational Training or Negotiations Course?
Some students prefer to have a recognized professional training in their Master’s program, as it is expected of them in the local job market. We offer such an elective. Such a course should be at least 80 hours in length and usually involves some form of specialized training with another company. It is up to the study department to decide if we will accept such a certificate of training (or other document proving such an activity) as an Approved Pass (AP) (which appears on the diploma supplement or transcript instead of a typical evaluation). Students who do not need to have professional training on their transcript will take the Negotiations Course.
