The AGSM MBA Program is ranked number one in Australia (Financial Times, 2008).
The AGSM MBA provides the world-class business education and business networking opportunities required to achieve ambitious career and personal goals, in one of the most exciting cities in the world. The AGSM Building at UNSW is located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, close to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It is the ideal setting for you to do your MBA!
The AGSM MBA is a world-class program (placed at 20 outside the US – Financial Times, 2007), and was the first in Australia to be granted AACBS Accreditation. It is the most prestigious MBA in Australia, with an enviable reputation amongst employers. The community of faculty, students and industry networks, together with the design of the Program produce a learning experience that will prepare you for the rigors of senior management, and lay the foundation for you to achieve your career goals.
With over 200 faculty members at the Australian School of Business at the University of New South Wales, and a typical cohort of students representing over 25 countries and a multitude of industries, the AGSM MBA program benefits from diversity. Collaboration within an intellectually stimulating environment at the cutting edge of management thought promotes the confidence you will need to tackle emerging issues at the highest level.
Around half the MBA students take advantage of our strong links with international business schools to spend a term on the Exchange Program. Among the business schools represented are Wharton, Stern, Chicago, London Business School, ESADE in Barcelona and Keio in Japan. The Exchange Program provides an unforgettable experience that will enhance your network and your credentials.
On the AGSM MBA Program, you will connect to the people you need to achieve your career goals. The annual Careers Week typically attracts top firms such as Google, McKinsey, BCG and Macquarie Bank. Internships are also a regular feature of the AGSM MBA Program, with around 20% of the Class of 2008 achieving an internship. Placement statistics for the AGSM MBA Program speak for themselves, with 85% of graduates being employed within 3 months of graduation (Class of 2007). Salary increases are also impressive – the MBA at AGSM pays for itself quickly, with the average payback period being approximately 3 years!
Students on the AGSM MBA program are very active, finding time to organise a multitude of student societies and sporting events, at which they excel. Their backgrounds are diverse, providing a range of attitudes and experiences that radically shape the flavour of the AGSM MBA Program. For Scholarship information see the AGSM website.
The full-time AGSM MBA program begins in January and typically runs for 16 months. Application deadlines are available on the AGSM website.

Testimonial: I chose AGSM because of its reputation in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region as the best business school with the best return on investment; and because of its partnership with top schools all over the world, which is core to having an excellent exchange program. I had previously been considering US business schools but the rise of Asia-Pacific is imminent and being close to the area of growth became more important for my career. AGSM provides a great anchor within the geography while opening doors to the rest of the world in terms of cultural diversity in class and a rich set of options to learn outside of the classroom. Add to that the charm of Sydney and I’m completely sold.
