The Melbourne Business School (MBS) is one of the largest business schools in the Asia-Pacific region and a leader in management education. We focus on preparing future leaders for taking their place on the world stage. MBS is jointly established, owned and led by corporate Australia and the University of Melbourne.
The Melbourne Executive MBA (EMBA) program is an innovative international experience designed for senior managers – those with 10+ years of work experience, including significant managerial experience and a track record of professional career progress. It offers an experience like no other, through:
- a unique structure of four one-month fully residential intensive modules over 14 months
- limited numbers (30-40 in each intake)
- separating study from work and personal commitments (participants return home and to their workplaces and apply their learning between modules, with no formal study requirements during the intervals)
- a global ‘classroom’ - Australia, USA, Germany and China
- a demanding, exciting and creative program with a diverse range of learning methods (varying from interactive class discussions, case studies and group problem solving to experiential activities and formal presentations)
- leading faculty from around the world
- a true executive peer network of like-minded professionals
- participants who bring real experience and current business situations to the classroom, analyse key principles and test management concepts.
Graduates receive a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Melbourne, recently ranked one of the world's top universities.
