Our flagship Master of Business Administration (MBA) offers various specialisations for advancing your career in business – from artificial intelligence to business strategy. Plus, we also offer tailored MBA courses for healthcare management and international business.
A postgraduate qualification can be undertaken by students who have already completed an undergraduate degree or possess significant, demonstrable work experience. Postgraduate courses include graduate certificates, graduate diplomas, masters and PhDs, as well as specialist programs for industry professionals.
