Australian Graduate School of Management

The AGSM MBA has long held the reputation as Australia’s leading MBA.

Full-time MBA Program

The full-time MBA is a 16-month program, combining traditional classroom teaching with case studies and group work. The core component of the program aims to embed core management disciplines, sharpen problem-solving and decision making skills and develop influencing and team-based skills that will assist students to manage in a global business environment. The elective phase of the program provides an opportunity for students to take courses across a range of disciplines, or to focus on a special area of interest. Management projects and internships may also be built into the elective phase of the program. The MBA incorporates an option for international exchange at one of AGSM’s 27 partner institutions including London Business school, Chicago Graduate School of Business and The Indian Institute of Management.

Study in Sydney

By choosing to study at AGSM, you will have the opportunity to live and learn in one of the world’s most exciting cities. Sydney is a thriving, multicultural,dynamic city and the commercial capital of Australia, home to two-thirds of multinational corporations’ headquarters and the Australian Stock Exchange. Located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, AGSM is close to the Central Business District as well as some of Sydney’s most beautiful beaches, providing an ideal setting for postgraduate business study.

Internationally Recognised Faculty

The AGSM MBA draws upon an internationally renowned teaching body dedicated to delivering a rigorous research-driven management education. Many faculty are recognised as thought leaders in their respective fields, contributing to latest best practice in management.

Career Management

The Career Management program is an integral part of the MBA experience and underpins individual achievement of post-MBA career ambitions. The program entails one-on-one coaching, skills-based workshops including interviewing and CV preparation as well as case-based interview coaching & workshops. The Careers Team organise regular industry-speaker events as well as networking opportunities and recruiter social events. The highlight of the Careers calendar is On-campus Recruitment Week, which occurs following completion of the core component of the MBA. On-campus recruiters represent top multinational companies across a range of industries with opportunities extending well beyond Sydney.

Student Profile

Matt Riordan, MBA 2004 Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Law (Hons), The University of Sydney

“My experience at the AGSM was outstanding”
After 5 years as a finance and corporate lawyer I was frustrated with my career path and wanted to expand my expertise, acquire new skills and increase my opportunities. An MBA seemed to be the perfect solution.

After considering a variety of US schools, I chose Australia and the Asia Pacific’s leading business school for a variety of reasons including the reputation and quality of the program, faculty and students, the fact that it was the only Australian business school to offer an exchange school program with the likes of Wharton, Chicago and the London Business School. The smaller class sizes not only meant personal attention it allowed me to form lifelong friendships with my fellow students from all over the world. An AGSM scholarship made the decision to return to full-time graduate study that much easier.
In 2004, I went on exchange to Wharton and was part of the winning AGSM Wombats rugby team, which competes in the World MBA rugby championships each April at Duke University in North Carolina.
