Welcome to Melbourne Business School

In the highly competitive global economy, the traditional MBA toolkit is a pre-requisite for aspiring leaders. But top MBA graduates are looking for more: new ideas, new products, new opportunities. These require a new set of insights and skills. To stand out, leaders need to be able to innovate and think creatively. They need to know how to make things happen.

At Melbourne Business School, we go beyond the traditional MBA curriculum of case studies and established disciplines. Our goal? To equip all our graduates with agility, resilience and the ability not only to manage complexity, but also to seize the opportunities it presents.

Entrepreneurial thinkers challenge ‘the way things are done’, deliver new approaches and craft innovative solutions. Our MBA will change not only the way you do business, but also how you think about business.

The Melbourne Business School MBA is a global MBA. Our graduates can be found in 77 countries around the globe, across multiple industries. We challenge you to achieve excellence and impact, to create value for your business, for society and for your career.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Future leaders will create value for business, for society and in their own careers. They will have the personal awareness to lead and the humility to work towards a goal that is bigger than themselves.

“We challenge you to achieve excellence and impact.”

1 year 1 world-class MBA Melbourne Business School’s one-year full-time MBA is an intensive experience designed for maximum impact. In a class of highly motivated individuals with a track record of achievement and supportive faculty who are leaders in their fields, you will be challenged and stretched to unlock your potential. It will transform how you think about the world and how you think about yourself.

I don’t believe that I would be in the role that I’m in, or that I would have enjoyed my previous roles as I have, if I hadn’t done the Melbourne Business School MBA. The MBA provided me with a far broader set of skills than I would have achieved through either the undergraduate degree that I had, or the University of Life.

Strength in diversity

Graduating classes of 2014

We keep our full-time MBA classes intimate because we know you value an environment in which you can form close and lasting relationships. We also know diversity makes a real difference.

Within the class, the broader the spectrum of backgrounds and experiences, the more stimulating the challenge and the richer the conversation.

It is the diversity of experience that you and your colleagues bring to your MBA journey that will extend your

understanding of all aspects of business theory and practice, challenge your assumptions and extend your thinking.

Living and working in the intense environment of your MBA is an opportunity to navigate a variety of opinions and to tap into the rich resource of your collective expertise. The legacy will remain with you forever.

The class is hugely international. My current syndicate includes a Kuwaiti, a Chinese, a New Zealander and an American. We have to work hard to find common ground, but it’s been a phenomenal experience. You see and learn a lot about people as well as yourself in that environment, which sets you up for the real world of business.

Collaborate for success

Working with such a diverse group of people can be challenging, yet creating amazing and innovative outcomes together can be exciting, and in addition very strong learning opportunities result – opportunities that would be extremely hard to replicate elsewhere.

My MBA gave me the courage to question my assumptions, and challenge what we do and why. It’s a way of thinking that spreads to people that surround you at work. It constantly breathes new life into business challenges.

The lecturers are well connected and up-to-date with business practices. The finance faculty had top-level CFOs on speed dial. They could ring up and say ‘come in and talk to us’. It put classroom learning into the context of the real world.


I fly to Paris eight times a year to work for the company that owns the world’s most valuable luxury brands. This links our marketing classes directly to what is happening at the high end of brand development. I am a marketing guy who was born with a fascination for brands. When I was approached by the world’s leading luxury brand house to become their branding adviser, to run a program to train their executives, it started a relationship which is still going to this day.

Thrive on innovative teaching techniquesManagement concepts and analytical skills become truly powerful when they are combined with experience and insight. Through your faculty and your peers, you will approach problems from multiple perspectives. We teach using a variety of techniques, including case studies, simulations and projects. These allow you to take a real-life situation and drill down into the details, think critically and articulate your position.

Our focus on actual business challenges means that your learning has real-world resonance. At Melbourne Business School, we bring it further to life by integrating our teaching. Integrated Fridays are co-taught by faculty members from different disciplines. Together, they examine a case and analyse the issues it raises from their different perspectives and cross-fertilise their disciplines. To complete the learning process, we also invite business practitioners to join the discussion,

contributing a pragmatic, hands-on point of view. After all, the real world is messy and we know that solutions do not come in a one-size-fits-all format.

Finally, we understand that decisions are often made in the face of debate and opposition. In a supportive environment, we show you how to build coalitions, how to persuade and influence and how to lead.

You go from black and white television to colour when you overlay the core faculty and disciplines. Business is multi-dimensional. There is always another consideration.

Real business problems are complex and cross disciplines. We bring faculty together from different areas of expertise to teach real world business cases, examining real world problems. We then approach key issues from these diverse faculty perspectives, and the students apply their own past experience and classroom learnings. That’s much more realistic than the traditional

approach of teaching in silos. You don’t see this interdisciplinary teaching in any other business school. This is something unique that grows from the cooperative culture of the faculty here, and it has a terrific impact on our students.

I did the one year for the intensity. I didn’t want to waste any time doing anything less or slower. And when you go into business, or into consulting, every day is intense, at every level. You learn how to perform under pressure, and in a safe environment. You learn discipline.

The Melbourne Business School MBA is an intensive one year program, with all the core subjects of a traditional MBA, plus a range of extra options, that ensures the MBA you leave with is the MBA that will drive your ongoing career success.

Marketing

Operations

*Indicative curriculum

Finance

Internships and consulting projects

Working on a particular project within an organisation, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the issues and challenges facing the company. It’s an experience that adds value to your learning and enables you to explore a specific industry as part of your career planning.

Exchange programs

All our full-time MBA students are eligible to apply to participate in our international exchange program with more than 40 partner business schools in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

The program also attracts exchange students to Melbourne Business School every year. These students work closely with their Melbourne colleagues in syndicate groups and join in with class activities, increasing diversity and boosting your learning.

Business in AsiaFifty per cent of the world’s economic growth is centred in South East Asia. Understanding business in Asia is central to understanding business today. It is a core module of our MBA.

You will not only study the dynamics of the world’s largest economy, you will have the opportunity to spend

an intensive week on the ground in the city of Shanghai, the engine of China’s economic growth.

You will design a project with your syndicate team that draws on your learning in class, and which reflects your own career interests and ambitions: launch a new product

or venture into Asia, consider an industry in-depth or examine export opportunities for Chinese services or products. What better way to gain practical insights into the workings and cultural parameters of this booming region? They are insights that will inform your future business thinking.

During their time in Asia, students apply what they have learned in class in the messy, unpredictable real world of business. China is challenging the US as the world’s largest economy and is Australia’s largest trading partner. It is crucial for any future business leader to understand China’s economy and culture.

It soon became clear that my MBA learning, my sales experience in China, and my language skills fitted with their plans to expand into the region. I now work here full time in a senior role as a business analyst. Internships are an incredible opportunity, especially for international students who would like to see how Australian business works from the inside.

A day in your MBA life

Every day of the program is intense. Apart from preparing and taking part in classes, there’s an array of extra curricular activities to enjoy, as well as all that Melbourne has to offer as a busy, cosmopolitan city.

You’ll have downtime for sports and other relaxation activities too, with a midday break to allow you to refocus energy for the afternoon.

7.30amIn early for a syndicate group meeting to resolve some questions about the project work. Also time to compare notes on today’s case study.

10.00amShort break. Good to stretch the legs and get a coffee.

8.30amThe first class begins. Can be a bit nerve wracking waiting to see whether the professor cold calls anyone to share their analysis. Once the debate begins, energy in the room rises and the number of opinions and perspectives is incredible. Like any business issue, there’s rarely a single right way. Exploring options, applying learned techniques to test the scenario is where the learning happens.

3.30pmMore reading and analysis. Also getting ready for the consulting event tonight. Doing background research on the firms coming in, to be well prepared for the panel discussion.

5.00pmMeet with syndicate group to brainstorm ideas about marketing assignment. Even working on an individual piece, brainstorming as a group broadens the thinking. Coming from a finance background, you learn a lot from the marketers in the class.

11.00pmHome, sleep ready for the next day.

7.00pmAll the study done, there’s an opportunity to join in one of the many school or club events. Perhaps the consulting group panel, with alumni now employed in the top 4 global firms coming in to share their insights, or the women and management speaker event.

8.20amA quick catchup on email before class. Line up career coaching and consider which events to attend this week. Plenty to choose from.

12.30pmLunch in the courtyard then off to train for the inter-school sports competition against AGSM.

2.00pmSyndicate group presentation in the Business in Asia core module. The data research, the industry benchmarking and the on the ground interviews in Shanghai come together to deliver some great insight into exporting into the Chinese market.

Our career management team

Increase your impact

Our team of career professionals represents experience and established relationships across Fortune 500 companies, government bodies and new business start ups. They have expertise in a range of industry sectors, including Energy, Manufacturing, Resources, Banking, Consulting, Finance, FMCG, Life Sciences, and Retail. Together, they have decades of experience in all aspects of recruitment: human capital management in the private sector, international business school careers management and global recruitment.

We also bring in specialists in key skills development areas to run specific programs or to work with individuals on a particular area of interest or need.

Securing employment at any level is much more than reviewing advertisements, submitting a resumé and attending an interview. Today’s MBA job market is complex and dynamic.

Our career management approach works because it is both practical and tailored to your individual needs. Working with you even before you arrive, we devise a customised program that runs throughout the year.

Your Personal Effectiveness Program

The Personal Effectiveness Program, unique to Melbourne Business School, enables you not only to be truly ‘job ready’ post graduation, but empowers you to manage your career as you pursue your longer-term leadership goals.

You will have the opportunity to work with consultants, faculty and external coaches to master techniques across the three core components of personal engagement, career development and leadership.

Career management process

Self-awareness

Finding the right job at any stage of your career means knowing your strengths and working on your weaknesses. We teach you techniques to reflect on your career drivers, personal values, work/life needs and career aspirations to assist you in your career path planning.

Exploring your options

Once you begin to understand your strengths and articulate your career goals, your career-market research will begin. Getting to know your target industries, understanding the range of opportunities, and considering your career moves in terms of both local and global prospects will prepare you for the next step: making decisions.

Your career decisions

As you proceed with your job search, we stay with you, helping you make the right choices. This is an exciting phase as your efforts throughout the MBA program begin to bear fruit and opportunities are realised.

We will work with you on the practical aspects of employment negotiations. Clarifying your responsibilities, expectations, compensation and performance evaluation are all an important part of cementing your decision to step into a new role with confidence that this is the right career decision for you.

John Gurskey Director, Career Services

Experience: MBA Corporate Relations Manager, Georgia Institute of Technology, Senior University Relations Manager, AT&T (USA)
