You are now ready to elevate your business leadership skills by enrolling in the Master of Business Administration (MBA). Congratulations! There are so many MBA programs available, so it is only natural that you may have questions.

Here are three things you should consider when choosing the right MBA program. We have also reached out to our alumni and students so that you can learn from their real experiences.

Does it allow you to adapt it to your lifestyle

No longer are you forced to choose between pursuing a career and raising a family? It is possible to balance your priorities and prepare to move up in your career by choosing the right MBA program.

You have 3 options for studying in the UQ MBA program. Either you can accelerate your studies with intensive courses and complete your MBA in a year, or you can choose to do your MBA around your work commitments in two years. Flexible study options allow you to adjust your studies as your priorities change.

The UQ MBA program offers more flexibility than other programs. You can choose to attend classes during the day, night, or for a 1-week intensive class.

Our Brisbane location is centrally located in the CBD. You have the option to study in person or online through our live lectures or classes. Or a combination of both, depending on your priorities and schedule.

Will future employers recognize and value my qualifications

 It’s crucial that the university and MBA program you choose have strong national and international reputations.

The University of Queensland ranks among the top 50 research and teaching institutions globally. QS World University Rankings 2020 span also ranks us #1 in Queensland for management and business.

The University of Queensland MBA program has been recognized as one of the most prestigious programs in the country and internationally. It is ranked #1 in the world for student quality and #1 in Queensland.

UQ’s strong reputation is one reason Joe Bryant, who started his own company, Aeromech, in 2019, decided to enrol on the UQ MBA program.

He says that the University of Queensland is well-respected nationally and internationally.

Will I be able to achieve my career goals

 You’ll need some assurance about the return on your investment once you graduate with an MBA.

No matter what your goals are, whether you want to advance your career, change industries, or start your own company, UQ is committed to your success. This can be seen in our graduate results. Tim Kuusik (UQ MBA alumni and Director at Arq Group) realized a return on his investment while still in school.

He said, “I knew that my UQ MBA would open doors. It was so unexpected. If I hadn’t been studying my MBA, I wouldn’t have been selected for the role. But I was offered the job. Although I hadn’t graduated yet, I already had the skills and confidence to move up to general management. This was a turning point in my life. “I had already been working full-time, so I decided to study part-time, and I unexpectedly had my first baby during my second year of MBA studies. The practical scheduling of subjects was a great fit for my full-time job, travel, and family obligations.

These are the most important points to remember. We have also reached out to our alumni and students so that you can learn from their real experiences.
