Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a postgraduate degree designed to develop your strategic thinking, leadership, and management skills for senior and executive roles. The program builds on your professional experience and provides an advanced understanding of business functions such as finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, operations and strategy, while emphasising ethical decision-making and responsible leadership. You’ll learn through case studies, industry-led projects or capstone assignments, work-integrated learning opportunities, and possibly electives or specialisations (e.g. business analytics, digital business, innovation, international management). Depending on the university, there may be specialisation options, flexible study modes (full-time, part-time, online), and recognition of prior business credentials or work experience toward course credit. Graduates of an MBA can pursue senior management, consulting, general management, entrepreneurship or C-suite roles across corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors both in Australia and internationally.
