12Month MBA- A full-time MBA delivered in a part-time mode
The MBA offered by Oxford College of Business (OCB) in affiliation with the Australian Institute of Business (AIB) is the most popular 12MBA MBA Programme in the country today. It is designed for those looking to take their career to the next level. OCB's 12 Month MBA is designed for senior managers with over 5years of managerial work experience. The 12 Month MBA is offered as one subject per month. This means that students need to focus on just one subject at a time, in addition to their usual personal and professional obligations. The fact that the examination is just a month away from the start of each subject has contributed to high completion rates, as the students are continuously motivated.

Academically, there's no difference between a 12month MBA and a traditional MBA-an MBA is an MBA. It's not a matter of content. It's a matter of delivery style. The 12month MBA is a full-time MBA delivered in a part-time mode. A typical example of this is the 12month MBA would concentrate on delivering 40hours of lectures for one module over a period of one month purely on weekends as opposed to a traditional MBA delivering 40hours per subject stretched over a period of 3 months. Furthermore the type of student that prefers to go into a 12Month MBA programme is quite a bit older. The average age is about 35, with about 10 years of work, and about 5 years of management experience in the typical 12Month programme.

Full return on investment
The primary benefits of a 12month MBA include the shortened length of the MBA programme due to its unique style of delivery which provides a chance for individuals to earn an advanced degree through intensive study. In many cases, earning an MBA in 12months can help a person secure more job opportunities and even land on jobs that offer higher pay. In some cases, earning a 12month MBA may even help a person advance to a higher position with the company that currently employs him. The MBA course director at OCB states that: "What is most gratifying, in my opinion is in terms of payback; our studies have shown that the average student gets a full return on his investment in about 20 months. That's not a bad return. But it is a decision that a student has to make. It's not just a financial decision. He or she has to be ready to face the challenge of joining quite an intense programme which will give them very high returns at the end of it."

The chief benefit of a 12month MBA programme may be the reduced time commitment it entails. In the high paced modern business environment where all employees look to reach their corporate goals faster, taking two years for an MBA may be too long. The same may apply for individuals who have families to support and need to secure high-paying work sooner rather than later. While a 12month MBA requires a student to focus on his studies intensively for 12months, an individual who enrols for a 12month MBA programme knows that upon graduation he can pursue his career goals fairly quickly.

What do you plan to learn from an MBA?
A 12month MBA programme may also prove beneficial to a person who wants to focus on subjects likely to help him in his business career. When a person enrols in a 12month MBA programme, he may have fewer core requirements to meet. Candidates typically get an intensive education in business topics, including strategic management, leadership, managerial finance, entrepreneurship, international business, and corporate social responsibility. A feature very unique to the 12month MBA is that it focuses more on skills development than some traditional programmes do, where the candidate can apply the skills he learns in class the next day at work.

Furthermore, the focused environment of a 12month MBA makes it easy for students to foster lasting relationships with other students. This may prove helpful after graduation in situations in which business contacts and networking may prove critical. Additionally, 12month MBA at Oxford College of Business also has its own job bank where OCB has tied up with various head hunting companies where students looking for career progression can apply for new jobs upon completion of their MBA.
