The Adelaide University MBA program has been a great experience that has helped me develop at several levels personally as well as professionally.

The strength of this MBA program lies in the expertise and reputation of the lecturers and the wealth of practical knowledge that the students and lecturers bring to the classroom. It is a thoroughly comprehensive program that has direct application to real world management issues. The practical cases discussed in class are invaluable in gaining an understanding of the subject being covered. A significant part of the learning comes from the interaction with other students through class discussions, activities and teamwork. The MBA allowed me to tap into business perspectives that I would not have otherwise been exposed to. What has been particularly pleasing to me is that my way of thinking has been challenged, allowing me to grow in new areas where I had little experience.

During my MBA, having a young baby as well as being a working professional couple was challenging. It required a fine balance between family life, work and studies but the rewards have been truly worthwhile. The lecturers and AGSB support staff have also been very helpful and supportive throughout. The Adelaide University MBA is truly designed to meet our needs as students and working professionals who may also have family and social responsibilities.

The knowledge and experience I have gained by completing this MBA will help me advance my career and better my understanding of the business world. The MBA has exposed me to a diversity of thinking and experiences that have pushed me to the leading edge of both current and critical business issues. I truly believe the program has refined my focus and vision for the future.
