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.

The MBA (Advanced) program goes beyond the standard 12-course MBA degree, and is designed to cater for several different niches:

  • Students seeking the highest levels of organisational leadership and thus wishing to broaden their coverage of managerial knowledge;
  • Students wishing to specialise in particular areas of general management;
