Deakin Business School

Established in 1985, the Deakin MBA is designed to meet the professional needs and life balance of an experienced cohort via distance learning. Individuals now have the flexibility to study completely online, with options for intensive and face-to-face delivery when desired.  

Our teaching staff are experts in integrating theory into professional practice and in developing learning experiences that are current and relevant to today's changing workplaces, supported by real-life case studies offered by our industry partners. Our program is not just about 'knowledge' and 'skills' - but also about networking, career enhancement, and professional development. We offer professional academic support, a tailored career development program and complimentary Institute of Managers and Leaders membership, the peak managerial professional body in Australia.

The Deakin MBA strives to be the first mover to create more value for our candidates. We are the first in Australia to embed the internationally-recognised Chartered Manager designation and our MBA graduates also receive a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership from the Chartered Manager Institute, UK.

Deakin’s MBA has been recognised as the very best online MBA in Victoria for three years running. Our recipe for success? There’s no one secret ingredient for creating a rewarding course program. But like any good business, we listen carefully to our customers - Deakin’s MBA students.

Deakin MBA students are looking to upskill and enhance their job prospects. Some are looking to make the leap into a new career altogether. In fact, over 90% of our MBA students study part time while they work. Deakin’s strong reputation draws in high-achievers from the full spectrum of sectors, and students relish the opportunity to connect with likeminded leaders from a variety of backgrounds. By starting conversations in the classroom, students can fast-track their goals by leveraging the connections available to them every day.
