International student from the United States of America

Before joining the Adelaide MBA program, I worked as the Vice President of a multinational private equity company located in Las Vegas, Nevada. One of the most enjoyable features of studying at the University of Adelaide has been networking with other international students. The MBA program caters to a diverse range of students, each with extensive professional experience. Indeed, The University of Adelaide is an ideal place for those students looking to contribute to and benefit from a historical record of academic excellence.

Many business schools appear to be satisfied by simply explaining the management tools necessary to answer workplace related questions. Whilst such tools are useful the inherent “un-frame-able” nature of business can limit the effectiveness in practical application. The faculty at the Business School encourages its students to first identify the important questions that need to be asked, subsequently allowing the student to identify the appropriate tools from the given context.

The University of Adelaide is an international school of choice. The faculty, which consists of academics from top-tier international universities and practitioners with a broad range of corporate-level experience, is extremely qualified. I am honoured to have been able to share this experience with such a wonderful group of professionals.
