Study online or in-person
Our in-person classes are held at our Perth City Campus in the heart of Perth’s CBD. This strategic location is close to many businesses and provides a valuable opportunity to network with your peers. You can also choose to complete your MBA online, with most of our units available to study remotely. Or, swap between attending class online, in-person or intensively, depending on your schedule that week.
Evening and intensive classes
Most of our classes are held in the evening, outside of regular office hours. We also offer intensive units, which are taught over one week, or distributed days across two-three weeks, providing you with the flexibility to complete the remaining coursework component around your schedule.
Fast-track your degree
Our trimester format enables you to complete more units in a year than a traditional semester-based program. Intensive units and eligible Executive Education short courses offer further opportunities to gain credit faster and reduce your time to completion.
The Graduate Certificate in Business is the perfect pathway to an MBA if you have significant leadership experience without a bachelor degree. You could complete this in as little as six months and gain credit for all units in to your MBA.
Gain credit towards your MBA with an eligible Executive Education short course. Eligible programs could include a one-day Masterclass, five-day Masterclass series, or a bespoke program such as Ignition.
