Melbourne Business School 1
Welcome to Melbourne Business School
There’s a reason why more than 90 per cent of our graduates receive job offers soon after earning their degree.
It’s because they think the right way about business. They bring creativity and innovation into the workplace. They are equipped to inspire, lead and motivate others.
Melbourne Business School is where the world’s brightest minds come to develop the skills and attitude they need to be the leaders of tomorrow. In our classrooms, students from all corners of the globe work together under pressure to collaborate, grow and challenge themselves. They learn as much from each other as from our world-famous faculty and industry experts, who come from peer institutions like Yale and Stanford.
Afterwards, they become part of a network of almost 10,000 other graduates spread across 84 countries who have had the same immersive experience, and who understand what excellence in business truly means.
If you want to join them, we invite you to study with us at Melbourne Business School.

Personalise and manage your career
“I wanted to develop a more holistic approach to business. I was working in one department at the time and found collaborating across departments created most of the challenges. I felt studying for my MBA would give me that holistic mindset. Melbourne Business School promised a different, world-class MBA experience, and it absolutely lived up to that. The Personal Effectiveness Program really sharpened our skills around our own personal elevator pitch, our interview skills and shaped us for success.”

Effectiveness Program, a core subject unique to Melbourne Business School.
Tailored to each individual student, the program will show you how to identify
your strengths and leverage your communication style. You will learn how to
personally engage and inspire others to better shape your career.
With the help of our team, you will gain the confidence and know-how to
pursue your goals with determination.
Start your career plan before entering the classroom
Before you begin your studies, we will work with you to develop your CV and
put you under the wing of a career coach to help you become “job ready” from
every angle. Together with your coach, you will establish where you are in
your career at the moment, where you want to go in the future and the best
way to get there.
You will gain the mindset to exceed market expectations and make a lasting
impression on others – both in and out of the office.

Nathan Spence (MBA 2017)AUSTRALIAN
Advisor, Rio Tinto (Melbourne) MBA Senior Associate, Partners in Performance (Melbourne)
“I was looking for a qualification which would complement my background in engineering and provide me the opportunity to make the transition from an operational role in chemical processing to a strategy focused position. The MBA program at Melbourne Business School gave me a broader skill-set to accelerate my career progression and as a result I interned in a not-for-profit, founded a company and landed a consulting role in strategy and implementation.”

Internship Case Studies
Case Study: Guide Dogs Victoria
The problem:
Voted the most-trusted Australian charity, Guide Dogs Victoria needed to raise $20 million
to redevelop the site it had occupied since 1962 and diversify its revenue sources beyond
donations. The fund-raising project came about when a 92-year-old donor gave them
$3 million for an animal clinic that he wanted built in his remaining lifetime.
The solution:
As part of their internship, students Nathan Spence, Henry Manning, Yan Liu and Paul
Qiu helped Guide Dogs Victoria identified a viable business model, which included either
employing the charity’s own veterinarians or partnering with a university vet-science
faculty to establish the proposed clinic.
“We felt like everything that we did actually made a difference” Nathan said. “They started
implementing things from the day we did our final presentation, and that’s really cool.”
The outcome:
Since the internship concluded in 2017, Guide Dogs Victoria have drawn on the students’
work to assist in the development of its new animal clinic, which will open in 2019 and
ensure positive health of many of our beloved dogs.
Case Study: Qantas
The problem:
Australia’s biggest airline, Qantas was struggling to get its employees to read 30 to 40
marketing reports each month. This created a lack of understanding into the organisation’s
marketing campaigns, which didn’t seem to have commercial contribution to many
stakeholders.
The solution:
Beating three other candidates from two prominent business schools for this internship,
student Cuicui Jin categorised a wide variety of metrics from over 15 internal and external
stakeholders to analyse this challenge. After further consulting with senior executives and
other stakeholders, Cuicui developed a dashboard for the whole organisation to access and
review each marketing campaign.
The outcome:
The dashboard flows into the reporting and operating rhythm of how Qantas communicates
within its organisation. It has created transparency, an easier way to share information and
has changed some of the culture at Qantas.
Jonathan ThompsonBrand Strategy Manager, Qantas
“Cuicui has left us with the ability to communicate, at an executive level, how marketing has contributed to the business and created a tool that allows us to effectively communicate our performance across the organisation.”
“The students’ research, analysis and insights on the business and service delivery models for our new veterinary clinic were extremely valuable as we seek to diversify our income streams and improve the health outcomes for our guide dog colony.”
Alastair StottGeneral Manager, Guide Dogs Victoria
Cuicui Jin (MBA 2015)CHINESE
Marketing and Event Manager, Asia Pacific, Linberg (Shanghai) MBA Partner, Greenstone Group (Sydney) Marketing Manager, Westpac (Sydney) Head of Marketing (Interim), L’Effet Luxury Shopping Rewards (London)
“With the help of the Career Management Centre, I won an internship with the Qantas Brand Marketing team, where I created an integrated a marketing dashboard for their organisation. You have to put in the work and be clear about your strengths and goals, which leads you to the right people and to reach your potential.”
Internships and consulting projectsWorking on a particular project within an organisation, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the issues and challenges
facing business today. It’s an experience that adds value to your learning and enables you to explore a specific industry as part of
your career planning.
Recent internship placements have been at organisations such as Citi, Forethought Research, Jetstar, LinkedIn, Qantas, Seek Learning
and Sodexo.

“Coming all the way from Uganda was a big move. I left my friends and family and entered a completely different culture. But it has been amazing. I’ve not only learnt from my classmates but I feel that I have also given them insights into doing business in Africa. The support that I have received has led to an internship with Social Ventures Australia. It taught me that my experiences were valuable and that I had a lot to contribute. I will always be grateful to Melbourne Business School for giving me this gift.”

Continuous case practice helped me to not only get through the interview process but it also assisted my learning during the MBA. It was definitely a factor in my landing a role at Deloitte.”
