Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Macquarie University

Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM) is the second oldest business school in Australia. Over the past 40 years, as one of the leading business schools in the Asia-Pacific region, it has developed a reputation for providing high-quality, flexible postgraduate business education.

The MGSM MBA prepares students to operate at the frontier of business; providing a framework and a foundation for success in leadership across any function in the country. The program emphasises a general grounding in management; exposes participants to the perspective of functional managers; and adopts the outlook of the general manager, so that students can develop the expertise to steer an organisation toward achieving and sustaining a competitive advantage.

Flexibility
Flexible and practical, our programs are above all an enriching educational experience. All of our courses link together to form an integrated pathway with the opportunity to progress from one to another, leading ultimately to the MGSM Master of Business Administration (MBA). You can complete the MBA full-time (typically one year) or part-time (typically two to three years). You can also choose to pause your study as your lifestyle or career dictates. Students can commence their study program at the beginning of any of the four terms per year.

Content is delivered in weekly or block format, providing two distinct study options within the program. Our students can choose to study at one of three campuses in Sydney (North Ryde and Sydney’s CBD), and Hong Kong. Opportunities also exist to study at one of our overseas partner universities and/or business schools. Regardless of the structure you choose, the 16-course unit program is exactly the same, and you will emerge from the program as a leader of the future.
