Part 2: About Entry Requirement
第二部分：关于入学要求
Q1: What is the entry requirement for China applicants for GCBA and MBA respectively?
中国学生申请GCBA和MBA分别有什么入学要求？
The entry requirement is the same across all applicants.They need to present at least an equivalent of AQF Diploma.For China, normally this would be Certificate of Graduation(毕业证书)or Graduation Diploma(毕业文凭)which could be equivalent to either an AQF Diploma or Advanced Diploma.We would need to look at the qualification to be able to identify whether it is equivalent to a Diploma or Advanced Diploma.And depending on whether they have business related work experience and the number of years of experience, they will be eligible for either GCBA or direct MBA.For both GCBA and direct MBA, there is a possibility that an applicant can enter without having an equivalent AQF Diploma.In this case, they would need to present at least 5 years business experience for GCBA entry or at least 7 years business experience, including 2 years in a management position for direct MBA(for detailed entry requirement, please refer to the PSB Academy brochure).所有申请者的入学要求是一样的。他们至少需要出示等同于澳洲大专学历的文凭。对于中国生而言，通常这会是和任何一个AQF大专或者高级大专证书同等的毕业证书，如任何的三年制的大专毕业证书或本科学位证书，同时我们也会参考申请着相关的商业工作经验及工作时间的长短。
对没有同等的AQF大专文凭的申请者也有机会申请，只要申请者有5年以上的商业工作经验则可以直接读GCBA。或者申请者有7年且其中两年是管理层工作的工作经验，则可以直接读工商管理硕士（详细的入学要求，请咨询360教育集团新加坡部顾问）。
Q2: For fresh UG degree graduates, to apply for UON MBA, it is required that bachelor degree is in the discipline, can you please define “in the discipline”? Is the discipline such as HRM and Tourism defined as “in the discipline”?
对于刚毕业的本科生申请纽卡斯尔大学的工商管理硕士，本科专业需要是商科相关的，您是否能说明一下商科相关的专业范围？例如人力资源管理和旅游是否包含在这个相关学科里面？
“In the discipline” would be in the business related areas.I believe accounting, finance, organizational behavior, economics, marketing, management, international business;human resource management, entrepreneurship etc.would be considered in the discipline.And any degrees with components of these disciplines could potentially be accepted provided they took sufficient amount of business related courses.For non-straight forward qualifications pre assessments will require approval from our Program Convenor.“学科相关”指的是和商科相关的，比如会计、财务、组织行为学、经济学、市场营销、管理、国际业务、人力资源管理、创业等，都可以看作是商科相关的学科。另外，任何有这些学科在内的专业能够说明他们在商科领域有相关的知识，都有可能申请。对于非商科专业背景的学生，需要我们的MBA课程负责人逐个案例审核通过才可以。
Q3: Can internship or part-time jobs be counted as working experience?
实习或者兼职是否可以累计算做工作经验？
Yes, internship or part-time jobs can be considered as work experience as long as it is relevant business related and meet the required number of years.实习或者兼职工作可以算是工作经验，只要这个工作经验和商业相关并且累积达到我们所要求的工作经验年限。
Q4: For recognized diploma holders, they are eligible to apply for GCBA programme and after completing GCBA, students only need to study 8 modules to complete MBA programme.It is a competitive and attractive learning pathway in the market.But some applicants perceive it as low entry requirement and question the quality of UON MBA programme.Can UON share the position of GCBA and rational to offer GCBA?
对于持有认可的大专文凭者，他们有资格申请GCBA课程，并在GCBA课程完成后，学生只需要再学8门课便可以完成工商管理硕士。这在市场上是一个有竞争优势且有吸引力的学习模式。但是有一些申请者则会认为这代表修读MBA课程的门槛低，并会怀疑我们课程的质量。纽卡斯尔大学是否可以解释一下GCBA课程及其对就读MBA课程的帮助？
The GCBA allow students with prior learning in various fields and industry experience to have an opportunity to prepare for an advanced career in management in an extensive range of business areas.Students must study and pass the four compulsory courses which equip them with the required skills and knowledge to pursue further study, i.e.continue with the MBA.The rigorous training and the skills and knowledge obtained when studying these four courses will help students progress to the MBA.The quality of UON MBA programme is reflected via the competence of our students and their employability after graduation from the course.GCBA课程提供给各类学历或行业背景并有志晋升管理层的学生一个机会。
申请GCBA的学生必须先通过四门必修课程，掌握了必要的技能和知识后才可继续修读更多的课程，如继续攻读工商管理硕士。在学习这四门课的过程中，学生通过严格的训练所获得的技能和知识有助于并足以让学生胜任继续攻读工商管理硕士。我们的工商管理的课程质量可以通过学生的竞争力和毕业生的就业率来体现。
