Important changes to the UOW MBA programme

Attention all PurpleTrain UOW MBA students, good news as the UOW MBA assessment criteria will be reverted back to the 30% Assignment, 70% Written Final Examination.

Hi MBA students,

Just to offer some assurance to all of you with regards to the implementation of the 10% participation component. Based on recent discussions about this new assessment component, it has been decided that this component will be effective for all new students enrolled in January 2003 onwards.

Hence all EXISTING students, enrolled before January 2003 will be assessed on the 70% Examination and 30% Coursework components only.

Happy studying!

Best Regards,
Sandra Peeris
