The same terms and conditions also apply for further intakes this year, in July and October.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Shervin Shokri, previously an academic staff member in biological sciences and now an adviser with International Student Services at Flinders University, has taken advantage of the special offer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flinders.edu.au\/study\/business\/master-of-business-administration\">commence the two-year MBA course<\/a>\u00a0with a specialisation in Health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a mature-age student who is returning to studies, I&#8217;m not afraid of the potential challenges. I plan to use my experiences, especially my time management skills, to enjoy studying while working full-time,&#8221; says Dr Shokri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe I have been given an opportunity to strengthen my identity and become a pivotal part of the fearless future industry workforce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The flexibility to select a variety of topics and the opportunity to experience a new industry excites me and satisfies my lifelong learning interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enrolments for these Business studies offers close on March 2 for the current study period, and there are two more start dates this year: July 4 or October 3.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A New Way to MBA - Flinders MBA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"
