Australian MBAs are structured into units of study totalling a specific number of credit points, typically completed over three semesters. QUT’s MBA may also include a capstone project that requires students to tackle real-world business issues, drawing on all the skills and knowledge they have gained. Some units encourage industry engagement, letting students interact with business leaders in Brisbane’s diverse commercial sector.

Students develop skills in problem-solving, ethical decision-making, leadership, and communication. Analytical thinking and practical strategies for leading organisations are central. The MBA suits early- to mid-career professionals from various sectors who want to move into higher management or pivot their career path in Australia or internationally.

International students enrolled in this course can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during the semester and may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation, which provides a path to gain local work experience.
