GLOBAL. BUSINESS. LEADERS.
Melbourne Business School
Welcome to
Melbourne Business School
There’s a reason why more than 90 per cent of our graduates receive job
offers soon after earning their degree.
It’s because they think the right way about business. They bring creativity
and innovation into the workplace. They are equipped to inspire, lead and
motivate others.
Melbourne Business School is where the world’s brightest minds come to
develop the skills and attitude they need to be the leaders of tomorrow.
In our classrooms, students from all corners of the globe work together
under pressure to collaborate, grow and challenge themselves. They learn
as much from each other as from our world-famous faculty and industry
experts, who come from peer institutions like Yale and Stanford.
Afterwards, they become part of a network of almost 10,000 other
graduates spread across 84 countries who have had the same immersive
experience, and who understand what excellence in business truly means.
If you want to join them, we invite you to study with us at Melbourne
Business School.

“As a non-profit organisation, we’re proud of our long-standing success in creating

serve the wider community.”

They are the first to know who is hiring, and how you can get in the door.
“Through highly personalised career development, we work with students
to ensure they develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to be
successful,” says John Gurskey, director of the centre.

“I wanted to develop a more holistic approach to business. I was working in one
department at the time and found collaborating across departments created most of the
challenges. I felt studying for my MBA would give me that holistic mindset. Melbourne
Business School promised a different, world-class MBA experience, and it absolutely lived
up to that. The Personal Effectiveness Program really sharpened our skills around our
own personal elevator pitch, our interview skills and shaped us for success.”

Strategic Sourcing Manager, BMW Group (Munich)
“The MBA strengthened my skills to think critically and strategically. They are skills
that are essential to be successful in my current role. It’s that ability to step away from
the immediate issues and apply a whole-of-organisation mindset that is the most
valuable outcome of my study in Melbourne.”

Beyond the traditional MBA curriculum
Our MBA goes beyond the traditional program of case studies and established
disciplines. Grounded in research, the Melbourne Business School MBA equips you
with practical methods and techniques to exploit exciting new business and career
opportunities.
Practical Experience
We bring business expertise and practical experience into the classroom. During the
course of your MBA, you’ll study with faculty that are deeply engaged with industry
and experience guest lectures from leading executives. You’ll keep up with industry
trends through electives such as Digital Product Management, Workplace Diversity,
FinTech, and our suite of analytics electives amongst others.
Innovation Bootcamp
Innovation Bootcamp tests your entire skillset. In a shark-tank scenario, you and your
team brainstorm and market-test a unique idea and turn it into a working business
model. Then you pitch your idea to a panel of leading entrepreneurs. You will gain
the confidence to take on the challenges disrupting markets and organisations today.
As you move into the elective phase of your MBA, you have more opportunities to add
to your learning by participating in real-world experiences as part of your studies.
Immersive Business
Experience
Students gain practical experience by working in teams in leading partner
organisations to solve real business problems. Each project integrates academic
learning with the practical challenges of applying your studies in a real organisation.
Internships
Complete a four-week, full-time, work placement (or equivalent as part of a longer
internship) that integrates MBA learning, employability and workplace culture.
You will gain proven communication, interpersonal, analytical, problem-solving,
organisational, time-management and career-planning skills.
Exchange programs
Broaden your MBA experience further through our international exchange program.
All our Full-time MBA students are eligible to apply to participate in our exchange
program with one of our partner business schools in Asia, Europe and America.
This program also attracts exchange students to Melbourne Business School every
year. These students work closely with syndicate groups and join in with class
activities, increasing diversity and boosting your learning.
Nathan Spence (MBA 2017)
AUSTRALIAN
Advisor, Rio Tinto (Melbourne)
MBA
Senior Associate, Partners in Performance (Melbourne)
“I was looking for a qualification which would complement my background in
engineering and provide me the opportunity to make the transition from an
operational role in chemical processing to a strategy focused position. The MBA
program at Melbourne Business School gave me a broader skill-set to accelerate my
career progression and as a result I interned in a not-for-profit, founded a company and
landed a consulting role in strategy and implementation.”

Internship Case Studies
Internships and consulting projects
Working on a particular project within an organisation, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the issues and challenges
facing business today. It’s an experience that adds value to your learning and enables you to explore a specific industry as part of
your career planning.
Recent internship placements have been at organisations such as Citi, Forethought Research, Jetstar, LinkedIn, Qantas, Seek Learning
and Sodexo.
Case Study: Guide Dogs Victoria
The problem:
Alastair Stott
Voted the most-trusted Australian charity, Guide Dogs Victoria needed to raise $20 million
to redevelop the site it had occupied since 1962 and diversify its revenue sources beyond
donations. The fund-raising project came about when a 92-year-old donor gave them
$3 million for an animal clinic that he wanted built in his remaining lifetime.
General Manager, Guide Dogs
Victoria
The solution:
As part of their internship, students Nathan Spence, Henry Manning, Yan Liu and Paul
Qiu helped Guide Dogs Victoria identified a viable business model, which included either
employing the charity’s own veterinarians or partnering with a university vet-science
faculty to establish the proposed clinic.
“We felt like everything that we did actually made a difference” Nathan said. “They started
implementing things from the day we did our final presentation, and that’s really cool.”
The outcome:
“The students’ research,
analysis and insights on
the business and service
delivery models for our
new veterinary clinic
were extremely valuable
as we seek to diversify
our income streams
and improve the health
outcomes for our guide
dog colony.”
Since the internship concluded in 2017, Guide Dogs Victoria have drawn on the students’
work to assist in the development of its new animal clinic, which will open in 2019 and
ensure positive health of many of our beloved dogs.
Case Study: Qantas
The problem:
Jonathan Thompson
Australia’s biggest airline, Qantas was struggling to get its employees to read 30 to 40
marketing reports each month. This created a lack of understanding into the organisation’s
marketing campaigns, which didn’t seem to have commercial contribution to many
stakeholders.
Brand Strategy Manager, Qantas
The solution:
Beating three other candidates from two prominent business schools for this internship,
student Cuicui Jin categorised a wide variety of metrics from over 15 internal and external
stakeholders to analyse this challenge. After further consulting with senior executives and
other stakeholders, Cuicui developed a dashboard for the whole organisation to access and
review each marketing campaign.
The outcome:
The dashboard flows into the reporting and operating rhythm of how Qantas communicates
within its organisation. It has created transparency, an easier way to share information and
has changed some of the culture at Qantas.
“Cuicui has left us with the
ability to communicate,
at an executive level,
how marketing has
contributed to the
business and created
a tool that allows us to
effectively communicate
our performance across
the organisation.”
Cuicui Jin (MBA 2015)
CHINESE
Marketing and Event Manager, Asia Pacific, Linberg (Shanghai) MBA Partner, Greenstone Group (Sydney)
Marketing Manager, Westpac (Sydney) Head of Marketing (Interim), L’Effet Luxury Shopping Rewards (London)
“With the help of the Career Management Centre, I won an internship with the Qantas
Brand Marketing team, where I created an integrated a marketing dashboard for their
organisation. You have to put in the work and be clear about your strengths and goals,
which leads you to the right people and to reach your potential.”

“Coming all the way from Uganda was a big move. I left my friends and family
and entered a completely different culture. But it has been amazing. I’ve not only
learnt from my classmates but I feel that I have also given them insights into doing
business in Africa. The support that I have received has led to an internship with
Social Ventures Australia. It taught me that my experiences were valuable and that
I had a lot to contribute. I will always be grateful to Melbourne Business School for
giving me this gift.”

Life at Melbourne Business School is more than just study. It’s about building connections, friendships and the
opportunities of a lifetime.
You will make lifelong friends and gain a valuable support network by engaging with your classmates through our
influential student clubs, which include the Consulting Club, Marketing Association Club, MBS Future Founders Club and
Finance Club among others.
Regular weekly activities also include soccer matches, drinks and student-led get togethers. Annually, the Student
Representative Council organises the grand MBS Ball, Halloween celebrations and the MBS-AGSM Cup, where we take
on our sister school in Sydney in the annual soccer, basketball and tennis matches – and the Great Debate.
Around the School, students can meet at our fully serviced Hub Café for drinks, study, lunch and dinners. Adjacent
parks offer a place to bask in the sun, and further afield, you’ll find scores of cafés and popular eating places for
Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Italian and Australian meals.
“Without the Consulting Club, I would never have been able to sit through a case
interview for a consulting role. Continuous case practice helped me to not only get
through the interview process but it also assisted my learning during the MBA.
It was definitely a factor in my landing a role at Deloitte.”
