Who an MBS MBA is for
Melbourne Business School runs five MBA programs because no two careers look the same.
Each format is built for a different career stage and a different schedule.
Find the profile that matches where you are now.
If you have two to five years of professional experience and you are ready to move from doing the work to leading it, the Full-time MBA gives you twelve months on campus and a full immersion in the business problem you want to solve next. Cohort based, case driven, on campus in Carlton.
If you are progressing in your career and not willing to step out of it, the Part-time MBA lets you study while you work. The ideas you study on Monday become the conversations you have on Tuesday.
If you have five or more years of management experience and the next move is into senior leadership, the Executive MBA is built around your schedule. One long weekend a month. Eighteen months. One international module.
If you have ten or more years of senior experience and the next move is a CEO, board or peak leadership role, the Senior Executive MBA is the only Australia based residential MBA written for that brief.
If you are based interstate, overseas, or your work makes weekly campus attendance unworkable, the MBS Online MBA is the same school and the same degree, delivered to you. Six intake periods per year. Three years of flexible study.
