Returning to Study
Online education as a mode of study, can make learning
proactive and more immediate than that on campus. Online
education enables you to work at your own pace (within certain limits), at the times which suit your lifestyle, personal
circumstances and in an environment of your choosing. The
start of any new activity almost always generates some feelings of uncertainty and concern. Returning to study is no
different in this respect.
For many people the idea of studying as an adult, when perhaps they already have children at school or college, is a
curious one. After all, if you are trained or have experience in
a particular field or profession why should you study or retraining be necessary?
Yet, over a typical working life of thirty-five to forty years, a
whole series of technologies, laws, products and practices
will come and go. Without further training we are not
equipped to take advantage of such changes, or indeed to
cope with them.
Online Resources
The SBS E-Learning portal allows you to access a range of
online services to support your enrolment and study needs
the online communication services are designed to enhance

discussion about studies. It allows you to stay connected to
your peers and professors, ensuring that even though the
program is online based, it is not isolated.
Active participation in the SBS Online MBA forums will enrich your learning experience. You are encouraged to read
the news and forums often and post your own thoughts and
replies as appropriate.

for each unit. This will provide you with:
