In today's complex and evolving corporate environment, business leaders need to be adaptable and agile thinkers, with advanced skills in analysis, decision making and communication to identify opportunities and resolve complex workplace issues.

A Master of Business Administration is an essential qualification that prepares leaders to perform at a high level in any industry. UNE's MBA will expand your professional skills and knowledge, building on your experience to allow you to achieve your career goals and add significant value to your organisation. In fact, UNE produces more business leaders as a proportion of graduates than any other Australian public university^.

Why study the Master of Business Administration with UNE?

Our MBA builds on your skills and knowledge, allowing you to confidently lead your organisation in a complex, globalised economy. You will expand your expertise to more effectively identify, analyse and resolve any management issue you encounter. You will hone your business skills in key areas of decision making, ethics, management, marketing and strategy.

We put you in control of your studies and provide you with a highly personalised education experience. You will study online, giving you the flexibility to balance your studies with your other work and personal commitments.

Our units are taught by internationally recognised academics who have a strong track record in research and a wealth of experience in business and industry. Staff are continually commended by graduates for their enthusiastic and proactive engagement with students.

We offer a diverse range of admission pathways. If you have a bachelor's degree or higher, plus at least two years relevant work experience you will be eligible for admission to the MBA. If you do not have a bachelor's degree, you can undertake a graduate certificate in either accounting, agribusiness, business, human resource management or management and this will enable you to progress into the MBA.

What makes our course different?

Our MBA will challenge you to think in new ways and encourage you to apply that learning immediately. From day one, you will be testing your knowledge against the real world, integrating it into your thinking and becoming a more effective and adaptable manager.

Our flexible, online course gives you opportunities to:

  • Choose from units across a range of areas, including accounting, business analytics, economics, finance, human resource management, management or marketing so you can tailor your degree to suit your work and career goals.
  • Complete your course in as little as three trimesters or spread your studies over up to six years part time.
  • Complete your MBA via coursework alone, or coursework and a major research project, or through a combination of core units and a major in human resource management. Progress to PhD studies if you have chosen to complete a major research project as part of your course.
  • Exit the course — if you choose not to complete the full MBA — with a Graduate Certificate in Management or Graduate Diploma in Management if you have completed the requirements of those courses.
  • Interact online with our highly-qualified teaching staff and fellow students, creating a collaborative learning community and a network of contacts you can tap into throughout your career.

Study online

Most of our students choose to study online across three study periods with 24/7 tutor support* and fit study around work and family commitments. Uniquely, our online students are mostly over 30 and bring valuable experience with them. They form a community of adults juggling the same challenges and priorities and who bring their life and work experience together at UNE in order to become future-fit and better respond to a rapidly changing world.

Study on campus

Many of our students choose to take advantage of the on-campus lifestyle in Armidale, in the beautiful New England region, with access to unparalleled support, accommodation and sporting facilities. These students are often starting their first degree and have left school recently. Through access to academic and career support they get a fantastic start to their careers.

* 24/7 tutor support includes: essay feedback (within 24 hours); live chat 24/7 for generic feedback on academic writing; and subject-specific help at a foundation or first-year level for subjects including mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, business, accounting, microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics.
