Master of Business Administration
Curtin University
Program Overview
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally accredited qualification that gives you broad skills in leadership, strategy and financial management to further your professional career. You can complete the MBA in four trimesters full-time or over several years part-time choosing a pace that suits you and your lifestyle.
It is especially suitable if you’re looking to acquire the confidence and business acumen to move from a technical role into a managerial or executive position in business, if you’re wanting to career switch or move into a different industry sector.
Studying at our campus in the heart of the Perth Central Business District, you will enhance your learning through a combination of practical project work and evidence-based business theories applicable to local and global organisations.
You can specialise in a particular area or choose subjects that complement your interests or the demands of your work. Subjects include economics, finance, organisational behaviour, strategy, international business and marketing. To ensure this course is aligned with changes to industry, we’ve also added new units in executive financial decision-making, global business sustainability and organisational strategy.
You will learn to devise and apply innovative strategies that help your organisation to thrive in complex and volatile economic environments. In particular, you will critique and implement strategies that can help businesses prepare for the impact of local, national and global crises, and recover from them.
You will expand your networks through contacts with other high calibre students, attending industry events, seminars, guest lectures and training, so you can build on your knowledge of current industry trends and best practice.
