MBA Infrastructure 

Master of Business Administration (MBA) specialization typically has a two-year curriculum specifically designed to train students in the theory and technique involved in regulatory processes, competition policy and infrastructure service delivery, and cover typical business administration subjects like marketing, strategy and finance, focusing on the needs of the infrastructure sector.

Infrastructure is the backbone of a nation's economy and tackling infrastructure problems is a key requirement for leveraging growth especially in developing economies like India. Amidst the changing global and domestic economic order, investments in infrastructure have become crucial in order to sustain the pace of economic growth. This has created a need for managers to lead and sustain organisations involved in infrastructure business.

The Symbiosis is the first University in the country to offer an MBA programme in infrastructure. The increasing emphasis on the infrastructure sector nowadays and the requirements of the industry necessitated a review of the existing programme. It was felt that a programme more focused on the sector would attract candidates, especially the mid- career professionals. However, fresh graduates who can demonstrate the ability to cope with the rigour of the programme can also apply.

The programme not only imparts the managerial skills in core subjects like any other conventional MBA course but also equips the students with acumen in infrastructure management by offering sectoral electives in water, energy, and urban infrastructure. The aim is to achieve a critical mass of expertise for effective management of infrastructure challenges across the country.

Course

The revised programme is structured in a modular manner. The first year is divided into two semesters and a summer semester. The second year is intended for major project. Each of the two semesters is divided into different modules with specific focus on different aspects of the infrastructure sector. 

Topics covered in infrastructure 

The MBA programme is usually divided into four semesters. The first semester usually has core subjects like business management, managerial economics, financial accounting and computer applications, and industry-specific subjects like urban infrastructure and real estate, and urban planning and urbanization process. The second semester generally includes subjects like financial management, research methodology and business law as core subjects. Real estate economics, real estate marketing and research, project management and business development of real estate are industry-specific subjects which might be taught in this semester.

In the third semester, you will usually find subjects like strategic management and quantitative techniques as core subjects, and legal framework of urban infrastructure and real estate, real estate valuation, funding and investment options, and land procurement and acquisition as industry-focused subjects. The last semester will most probably cover industry-related subjects like construction, contract and safety management, sustainability in built environment, facilities management in large complexes, real estate project implementation and monitoring, and affordable housing. Management in action, social, economic or ethical issues can be part of the core subjects in the syllabus for the final semester. Most universities insist on a project and/or summer internships between the two years of study.
