Course swap opens up to MBA and energy economics students in Aberdeen and Perth, Australia

The University of Aberdeen has entered into course 'swap' arrangement with Curtin University in Western Australia that will widen educational opportunities for students by drawing on each institution's strengths in MBA delivery and the energy sector.

Open to those taking the Business School’s online MSc Energy Economics and Finance programme and the MBA (Global) programme, from this month four Curtin University courses are being made available for Aberdeen students to select on an optional basis.

MSc students can access Resource Sector Management and Mineral Finance & Project Evaluation; with MBA students able to select Economics for Managers and Global Business Sustainability.

In return, four of Aberdeen’s courses have been opened up to Curtin’s online students. For those on the MSc these are Quantitative Methods for Energy Economics and Investment Analysis for Energy; along with Future Thinking and Leading & Managing Projects as part of the MBA programme.

The University of Aberdeen has a long-standing alliance with Perth-based Curtin University which aims to enhance learning and student experience; create a rich environment for research and innovation; provide international presence to a wider audience and create synergies in areas of mutual strength to leverage both university brands on a global stage.

Both Aberdeen and Curtin are situated in the energy capitals of their respective continents and have established themselves as leaders in energy-related and many other areas of research. 

This latest agreement not only broadens the Business School’s programme and course offerings, it reinforces its commitment to supporting the global drive towards delivering the energy transition and a green energy future.

Dr Yakubu Abdul-Salam, Director of Online and Director for the MSC Energy Economics and Finance programme at the University of Aberdeen, said: “Addressing global societal challenges and developing new and impactful leaders with an ethical, international mindset is a key focus for us.

“This new agreement not only draws on the course expertise of both universities to provide enhanced opportunities for learners, it leverages our respective expertise and international resources to better connect entrepreneurs, strategic thinkers and change-makers in two of the world’s energy cities.”

John Storm, Director of MBA Programmes, said: “In today’s dynamic and ever changing world of work, it is increasingly important that we seek out partnerships that bring value and innovation. With our revitalised MBA (Global) launching this September, this partnership with a Global Top 40 ranked MBA programme clearly demonstrates our desire to give our students access to the best opportunities available.”

The energy focus of the arrangement and the linking of the Aberdeen and Curtin faculties will also strengthen the impact of the Aberdeen Centre for Research in Energy Economics and Finance.

Dr Eileen Aitken-Fox, Curtin MBA Director echoed Dr Abdul-Salam comments, adding: ”The agreement between our two universities provides the opportunity for Curtin students to engage in a truly global experience, interacting and sharing a virtual classroom with students from the UK and beyond. The exchange is also aligned with Curtin's strategic plan of people, planet and partnership, making a notable and positive difference to the student experience.”

More information on course swap opportunities will be available on each programme’s webpage.
