MBA

Our MBA has a wide range of specialisations to help you progress your career in all areas of business – from administration to business strategy. Our teaching staff integrate theory and professional practice, ensuring your learning experiences reflect today's workplace. The MBA isn't just about knowledge and skills, but also about networking, career enhancement and professional development.

We know you’re busy and not always able to make it to class. The Deakin MBA is available on campus, online, in intensive or residential modes, or can be completed by participating in Australian and local study programs.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is our way of recognising the hard work you’ve already put into your studies or career. Through RPL you may be able to have your work and study experience recognised with course credit points, reducing your course duration and tuition costs. RPL for the Master of Business Administration may be granted to students who have successfully completed appropriate postgraduate studies in management. We also have credit for prior learning arrangements for CPA and IPA members where you can receive up to 6 credit points of RPL in to Deakin’s MBA.
