MBA Projects
Management consulting available to your organisation
Would your organisation like to propose a project that could be undertaken by an individual student or by a team of students at no cost to your organisation?
MBA students are experienced business-savvy managers and professionals who are capable in researching, analysing and finding practical solutions to challenging business issues.
We have a number of international students from around the world, particulary India and China. If you have a potential project for an international student, please contact us.
There are no fees to the organisation.
This opportunity is open to a large range of private and public sector organisations including manufacturing, services and not-for-profit companies.
To be eligible to propose a project, your business must employ more than 10 people. Projects from not-for-profit organisations with less than 10 employees will be considered.
The School’s objectives:
- to give students a hands-on opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to a genuine business problem or opportunity
- to provide client organisations with a valuable resource, that is the know-how and experience of a student or student team, focused on finding practical business solutions of real value
- to position our MBA as a truly interactive learning experience that combines academic theory with workplace practice, enabling students to transfer their learning through real world study.

"At the time we submitted our ‘project brief’ to the University, our business performance was quite “ordinary”. By the time this MBA team came along several months or so later, conditions for us (for a number of different reasons) were considerably worse.
The team worked very professionally with us. They were quick to grasp the issues and despite having little previous exposure to this particular industry, reasoned and articulated the relationships between and importance of each of the issues very well. They showed a great deal of respect for the company’s limited time and resources and endeavoured to be resourceful themselves. These students were genuinely motivated by the opportunity to make a difference to our business.
In the midst of quite a bit of change and uncertainty within the company at the time, the team were able to discern our company’s need to rationalise our existing activities and define activities which may sustain us and improve our performance in the future and produced some sound recommendations in that regard. In fact the report we received was of a standard you would expect of a professional consulting firm.
I have no hesitation in recommending the University of Adelaide’s MBA Business Project to other companies. What better way for these (very advanced) students to apply their learning than through ‘live’ projects, and of course with the support of some of the State’s top academics it provides extremely good ‘value’ to the client company!"
