Creating tomorrow’s leadersMACQUARIE BUSINESS SCHOOL

Great business leaders understand their influence goes beyond the economy and has global impacts in society. Do you have what it takes to face today’s challenges to become one of tomorrow’s leaders?

For 50 years the Macquarie University Graduate School of Management (MGSM) has equipped thousands of graduates with the knowledge to navigate and succeed in a dynamic global economy.

Now offered by the University’s Macquarie Business School, our Master of Business Administration (MBA) provides a multidisciplinary approach built on collaboration with industry so graduates have the skills and experience to face future challenges.

Progressive, practical learning equips our graduates with the skills to approach business from a new perspective. As an engaged citizen, you will develop leadership qualities that can deliver innovative and sustainable solutions for businesses and communities alike.

We are constantly striving for ways to innovate and develop our programs. Just as the global economy has evolved and been disrupted by new technologies and business models, we too are changing and recognising the demands that shape our future leaders. Despite the changes to education, one constant remains – the Macquarie Business School experience is transformational at both a professional and a personal level.

Our vision is to be a business school that creates leaders who not only have a global mindset but also produce sustainable outcomes. Our pioneering approach differentiates our graduates from their peers and has secured our position as one of the world’s top business schools.

2 2019 MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

“The MBA program was definitely a personal and professional career highlight. Just three months after graduating, my MBA had already paid dividends with regards to career acceleration through an increased understanding of how to run a business in our fast paced technologically evolving world.

“The lecturers provided both academic and real-world insights to ensure relevance and inspire the class to achieve our best. The flexibility of the course structure and program allowed me to complete the program around the birth of my first child and whilst juggling work demands. I have made lifelong friends, exceptional networking contacts and now see business challenges as opportunities and not hurdles.”
