Timetable & key dates

The MBA (Executive) and MBAX award programs run on a 3 Session model.

AGSM @ UNSW Business School programs offer flexible course delivery options that let you fit your study around your schedule.

Fortnightly

Face-to-face (F2F) Fortnightly classes run 6-9pm across 6 fortnights, commencing from week 1.  Most fortnights cover 2 class units, please refer to the course outline schedule for further unit delivery information.  Please note  the timing for fortnightly classes is under review in 2023 ie may vary from the existing week 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 11 delivery in 2022. ie Some courses may be delivered in weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, & 10 if more aligned with assessment deliverables.

Fortnightly classes require a minimum of 80% attendance, so you may miss 1 fortnight without having to apply for Special Consideration. Due to strict social distancing requirements, attendance at an alternate class due to illness, family or work commitments must be approved by Student Experience, pending the class size, group work progress and whether an alternate night is running. 

If you are feeling unwell in the lead-up to a Fortnightly F2F class do not attend class and seek medical advice. If this means that you will not be able to attend, please let Student Experience and your Facilitator know and apply for Special Consideration. Please consider the health and safety of your colleagues.

Intensive

Intensive courses are delivered over the same 12-week period as a regular Face to Face (F2F) class. However, weekly or fortnightly classes are replaced with two Intensive (face to Face) weekends & online activities. Students are required to complete weekly readings, online activities prior to & after attending the Intensive weekends. (9am-5pm). Attendance at all dates for the duration of the day (9am-5pm) is compulsory. 

For dates and information about Social Impact intensive courses, students should contact csistudents@unsw.edu.au or visit the Social Impact website. Social Impactive intensive courses may take a different format to regular AGSM Intensives.

Online Synchronous (Virtual class)

For students who like regular live sessions with others but cannot travel to our face-to-face venues. Students must have a reliable internet in order to join the class online.

The usual class times are 6-730pm or 7:30-9pm weekly for 10 weeks.  There are weekly online asynchronous activities before each synchronous class.

Online Asynchronous (WEB class)

For students who want maximum flexibility to determine when during the week they study. Readings, learning activities and assessments are accessible online. Students are expected to log on to the course site on a regular basis, i.e. several times each week. Online courses require regular online participation such as posts to discussion threads. Many online courses include prescheduled video conferences or optional drop-in sessions for additional engagement and to support Q&A. Dates and details of the video conferences will be made available by the Facilitator prior to the commencement of class.

Residentials

From 2022 the Executive Year (EY)* is an immersive 12-month program, applying an integrated learning framework of ‘knowing, doing, being’ to provide a transformational learning experience that will support your professional development goals. You’ll participate in three compulsory residential learning experiences (3 × 5 days each).

AGSM organises catering and accommodation and it is compulsory for students to attend all sessions and stay on-site for the duration.

*Note that a residential fee is required to cover accommodation and catering. Please contact the Student Experience Team (studentexperience@agsm.edu.au) for further details.

Workload and participation

Students should expect to spend 10-12 hours per week studying, as for other course formats. The level of participation and contribution to (online) discussions is expected to be similar to that in other course formats.

We caution against enrolling in 2 courses as it often impacts your learning experience and results.

Course materials are available on Moodle approximately 2 weeks prior to the commencement of session.

Some courses have a final exam (online or take-home) in week 11 or 12. Please refer to the Course overview or Assessment Summary Document for further information.

Early registration in a class is advised to secure preferred venues and class times. Popular classes fill quickly. Please don’t register for a class you don’t intend to proceed with as this impacts your colleagues and the viability of scheduled offerings. Classes with low enrolments at the end of the enrolment period may be cancelled.

UNSW operates wait lists and, where space permits, enrolment may be facilitated until the end of week 1.

If you decide to take a break from your studies by not enrolling in consecutive sessions, you must advise Student Experience via email before the census date in order to keep you active in UNSW systems.

Please check your enrolment on myUNSW to ensure you’re enrolled in the right class at the right campus or venue.
