In a year that has seen an unprecedented interest in online
education, GlobalNxt University offers students a rigorous
curriculum, backed by a leading-edge interactive pedagogical
platform that has been honed by over a decade of online tertiary
education expertise.
GlobalNxt University is an innovative, technology-enabled
institution that was formed to equip and update learners with
the rapidly changing skill sets required in the modern, global
economy. “In tandem with practices of an increasingly borderless
world, GlobalNxt is set up like a global enterprise which
combines all the traditional benefits of professor-led classroom
learning with a contemporary flexible, anytime, anywhere
learning model,” said Dr. Noraini Ismail, Vice Chancellor and
Chief Executive, GlobalNxt University. “Our aim is to offer
learners the same academic rigour found in the best traditional
brick-and-mortar institutions, but our educational mission is
also to raise the benchmark for online education to a new level
than what is currently available. Students will benefit
significantly from a strong emphasis on interactive pedagogy,
advanced learning technology and a high calibre, PhD-qualified
global faculty.”
Courses currently offered are the following:
-- Masters of Business Administration (MBA), the Business
School’s flagship graduate programme, is designed for seasoned
executives who wish to significantly enhance their management
skills and capabilities for personal development or career
advancement.
-- Postgraduate Diploma of Business Administration helps
students build a solid foundation of core management skills, and
is also a stepping stone to the MBA programme.
-- Master of Science in Information Technology Management, the
IT School’s main graduate programme, is aimed at aspiring Chief
Information Officers (CIOs) and IT leaders who need to move
beyond technical know-how to management know-how and bridge the
gap between IT and business.
The University’s objective is to engage students in a highly
interactive and individualised learning experience. In addition
to the courses offered, GlobalNxt University has flexible award
programmes designed for students to balance their studies with
work, family or other commitments. GlobalNxt also works closely
with its students and corporations to develop an engaging
curriculum that is carefully crafted based on the desired
learning outcomes.
GlobalNxt University derives its distinct academic heritage from
U21Global, one of the first global online graduate schools.
Founded in 2001, U21Global began as a pioneering academic
partnership that originally involved up to 21 prestigious
universities, internationally renowned for their teaching and
research. U21Global’s success in enrolling over 9,000 students
across 72 countries has demonstrated the key elements required
for next generation universities and also highlights the
enormous transformative potential of online education.
In a new industry collaboration model, GlobalNxt University has
partnered with over 100 multinational corporations to help
develop innovative, technology-enabled corporate learning and
training solutions. “The emergence of GlobalNxt University is a
testament to the quality and rigor of the online programmes that
originated with U21Global,” said Ian Marshman, Senior Vice
Principal at University of Melbourne, one of the U21Global
founding universities.
