CQUniversity’s affordable MBA outperforms the big players*

CQUniversity is outperforming many of the ‘big players’ among universities offering MBAs, reflected by its sustained top business press rankings.

In 2021 it maintained its CEO Magazine Tier 1 ranking for a fourth year in a row.  This is building on its significant Top 10 ranking in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) BOSS MBA Rankings for 2019.

Associate Professor Michael Segon, the MBA Director, highlights the recognised sustained quality of the CQUni MBA which is sure to benefit its graduates.

“One of the reasons why CQUni has outranked many other business schools in the CEO Magazine and AFR BOSS MBA rankings is because we are one of the few universities teaching core MBA units with 100 percent PhD qualified instructors who have relevant business experience.  

“Additionally, our faculty are among the most qualified and active in the business community through consulting and advice roles.”
CQUni’s MBA focusses on developing human-centred management capabilities to develop innovative leaders with integrity and purpose, and who have insights to tackle the changing landscape of the public sector, not-for-profit, social and ethical purpose organisations as well as the for-profit sector.

It’s an approach that helps meet the increasing demand for managers in the public and private sectors to make organisations financially and socially sustainable, according to Dr Segon.

“As we prepare for the reopening of the economy following COVID-19, we definitely will need better equipped managers than in the past to get businesses back up and running.

“Along with knowledge of contemporary people management and leadership practices, our MBA equips managers with the capability to adapt to dynamic, human-tech workplaces that provide positive outcomes for employees, stakeholders and broader society.”

CQUniversity offers a suite of courses including the MBA, MBA (Leadership) and MBA (Global). To find out more about these courses visit cqu.edu.au/mba.
