Program Outline

The University of Adelaide’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) Degree is a widely recognised qualification. Many leading companies now demand an MBA as a basic requirement for senior management positions. Completion of a rigorous MBA degree testifies to your ability to map out a course of action and see it through. It equips you with valuable life-long skills in critical thinking, leadership, understanding behaviour and analysis that are useful beyond the workplace.
