Description

MGSM is one of the top tier business schools in Australia and is the longest established in NSW.  Recently released rankings from AFR BOSS MBA Survey 2009 and The Economist FT MBA Survey 2009 confirm MGSM as the No. 1 business school in NSW.  Over the past 40 years MGSM has developed a reputation for providing outstanding quality and flexible postgraduate business education.  MGSM programs extend and challenge students and provide very relevant, higher management and leadership skills for the leaders of the future.

MGSM offers a comprehensive suite of postgraduate programs that have been designed to fulfil the needs of management professionals, both locally and internationally, and to include a variety of generalist and specialist programs in a range of modern disciplines. MGSM’s programs link together to form an integrated pathway, leading ultimately to the Master of Business Administration (MBA).  MGSM’s suite of programs offer multiple entry and graduation points and the opportunity to progress from one program to another.  This building block approach allows students to tailor study to match their individual needs, effectively breaking down the programs into manageable components and providing a range of options from Single Unit to MBA. 

MGSM's talented faculty are committed to rigorous academic quality and excellence in teaching and research and aim to provide an education that bridges the gap between theory and ‘real world’ application. They are highly qualified with extensive industry experience, combining business and academic life, and are constantly working to stay abreast of the latest research, theories and knowledge within their chosen fields of specialisation. 

The quality, maturity and experience levels of MGSM students are excellent.  This is borne out by the rankings where MGSM is consistently ranked in the top 5 in the world for student quality (Economist FT MBA Survey 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004).  Participants are generally more mature than at other business schools, with substantial work and life experience which makes for interesting and stimulating class room discussion. 

Understanding and fulfilling the needs of management today is a key objective at MGSM.  As such, the School accommodates the needs of executives with active and demanding professional careers.  MGSM study options are very flexible allowing students to tailor their student program to suit their individual needs.    Part time students do not need to compromise on the quality of their MBA by taking a shorter, less rigorous MBA as the MGSM MBA program can be studied either full time or part time.  There are four 10 week terms per year and students can commence study at the beginning of any term.  Programs and lectures are scheduled at a variety of times, including weekends, to allow participants an opportunity to combine their education with work and other commitments and with two campuses in Sydney; at North Ryde and in the CBD, students can choose to study at the most convenient location for them.
