About this program

The Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a rigorous one-year postgraduate qualification designed for experienced professionals seeking to advance their leadership and strategic management skills. The programme covers core elements of modern business administration, including advanced strategy, innovation, financial management, organisational leadership, and change management, all taught from a global perspective with a focus on Australian business contexts.

This EMBA is structured across two main semesters, comprising a set of advanced units of study with credit points allocated according to Australian university standards. Students typically undertake a series of intensive modules and may participate in a capstone project or strategic consultancy exercise with real-world industry links, providing direct engagement with business challenges. Work-integrated learning elements such as case studies, executive workshops, and potential industry placements are embedded to build hands-on expertise and connections with Australian and international organisations.

The course is suited to professionals with significant managerial experience who wish to upskill for executive or board-level roles, develop strategic decision-making capabilities, and expand their business networks. Participants gain advanced analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills highly valued by employers across the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. Applicants should confirm entry requirements, including evidence of professional experience and English proficiency, through the official UTS sources.
