Master of Business Administration

"The University of Adelaide MBA program provided me with a qualification necessary for my present position. Increasingly an MBA is becoming a compulsory requirement for higher management positions and is no longer simply a method for differentiating yourself from the competition."

Applicants who do not have a bachelor degree but who have a minimum of 7 years of managerial experiences must enrol in this program first. After successfully completing the Graduate Certificate, they may then apply to transfer into the MBA or MBA (Advanced) program. The four course completed will be credited towards the higher level program.
