Queensland University of Technology
Brisbane Graduate School of Business
 Queensland University of Technology (QUT)'s Brisbane Graduate School of Business (BGSB) is home to ?Australia's innovative MBA' and provides well-structured courses to help provide our students with the management skills needed to contribute effectively at senior levels.
World-class MBA
BGSB has officially moved into the top echelon of Australian MBA programmes by becoming the first in Australia, and one of only a few globally, to earn all three international accreditation symbols of excellence from the AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.
QUT's MBA was the first Queensland MBA to be ranked in The Financial Times' Global Top 100 programmes in 2004, one of only three in Australia to have made the list. In 2005, it was ranked as a top-tier Australian MBA programme by Australian Financial Review's BOSS magazine.
Australia's innovative MBA
The innovative structure and curriculum of the MBA programme is unique in Australia, and gives students greater choice and flexibility when designing their course. The MBA is a general management degree that nonetheless offers a choice of electives with which to form concentrations and minors in a variety of business disciplines.
Each MBA unit is conducted over a seven-week teaching period. There are six teaching periods a year (two per semester term) and six entry points each year. Students may choose to have time off over the summer or take a break for a teaching period or two, depending on their workload.
In brief
Seventeen subject areas in the core of the programme that are essential to employers. How do we know? ? we asked them!
Half-semester core and elective units that allow coverage of more core areas and sampling of elective subject areas.
An MBA with minor and major subjects of study, and concentrations.
By undertaking the shorter, sharper units, our students cover a wider range of core units and have a greater choice of electives, giving them more depth than a standard MBA and a distinct career advantage.
Entrepreneurial expertise
We are renowned for our entrepreneurship programme. We have offered Australia's first and most comprehensive MBA concentrations and major areas of study since 1998, and have one of the largest lists of entrepreneurship offerings in the country, if not internationally. The fact that we include entrepreneurship and new venture planning in the MBA core units indicates something more ? that we regard entrepreneurship as a necessary item in the toolkit of the modern business decision maker. Finally, our graduates make an impact. Our Financial Times' ranking saw QUT ranked 8 in the world for career progression, and our average graduate salary increase was 165% after completing the MBA.
We regard entrepreneurship as a necessary item in the toolkit of the modern business decision maker.
