Global Leadership Program – offered jointly with Northeastern University in Boston, USA

In 2006, Swinburne University of Technology entered into a landmark agreement with NortheasternUniversity (Boston, USA) to teach combined courses in Melbourne. Under this agreement, students are able to obtain two Master degrees in two years, one from Swinburne and one from Northeastern. The following options are available:

Option 1- Master of Science in Leadership (from Northeastern) and Master of Business (International Business) (from Swinburne)

Option 2 - Master of Science in Leadership (from Northeastern) and Master of Accounting (from Swinburne)

We believe this is the first time that students will be able to study for Australian and US qualifications at the same place anywhere in the world.

The Global Leadership Program is the first step in a broader range of joint programs the universities will offer, initially in Australia but also in the United States in the longer term.

·Two master degrees in two years

·Gain Australian and US qualifications at the same time

·Taught entirely in Melbourne by US and Australian lecturers

·Results and testamurs from both Universities

·Choose when you want to start – February, June or August

·No work experience requirements for entry

·Optional six-week study experience in Boston for interested students
