Description

The Monash Master of Business Administration (MBA) aims to produce graduates who are hybrid, global, socially responsible and transformational leaders. The MBA program develops leadership and personal capabilities, and provides a holistic approach to business challenges and issues alongside conventional discipline-based academic subjects. The program seeks to build leadership capabilities relevant to contemporary business challenges by emphasising innovative thinking and an awareness of the moral and ethical responsibilities of management as a professional practice. The Monash MBA experience brings together experienced management professionals, creating an environment where learning from co-students is a key component, supplemented by inputs from alumni and industry figures.
