Not all MBAs are equal: choosing a Master of Business Administration that suits you
An MBA – or Master of Business Administration – is often considered the ultimate business qualification. But when you have more options than ever, where do you even start?
Firstly, make sure you check out the course content of the MBAs you’re interested in to ensure they align with your unique goals. Although all MBAs aim to provide students with foundational theory and practical skills in business, universities will differ in what knowledge and skills they deem most important in that aim and their courses will reflect this. CQUniversity Australia, for example, has two MBAs: a highly ranked (Top 8 in Australia and 30th in the World, CEO Magazine 2023) traditional MBA focused on developing influential leaders across a range of sectors, as well as a hyperflexible MBA (Leadership) designed with a heavier focus on practical leadership and management for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs alike.
You should also consider the delivery mode and student experience. Do you prefer an on-campus setting and working to deadlines, or an online experience and managing your own schedule? You might also want regular contact with teaching staff – or be a more independent learner. CQU’s domestic MBA options include on-campus, online and hyperflexible delivery modes (depending on the course) – with the latter option offering a self-paced learning experience with no assessment deadlines or group work perfect for independent learners.
