“We give our students the edge because we operate at the very forefront of business. Our teaching is grounded in the reality of what it means to work in business, not only in Australia but around the world.”Professor Alex Frino Dean

Since our inception in 1969, MGSM has consistently succeeded in delivering one of the

world’s leading Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs.

We are proud to be ranked among the top business schools in the world by The

Economist ‘Which MBA’ Survey. Further, our alumni network of 16,500 boasts CEO and

countless members of the C-suite, as well as entrepreneurs, consultants, directors and

even politicians.

Despite our long history of success, we must continue to look forward. Business no

longer happens within the four walls of an office and it is critical that MGSM not only

adapts but leads the way.

As I enter my second year as Dean of MGSM, I am focused on our continued evolution as

educators, innovators and researchers. I believe that developing a truly global mindset

amongst our students, faculty and academics is key to the continued success of our

school and our students.

It is essential that our students be exposed to cutting edge theories and techniques from

leading minds, whether they be in Australia or elsewhere. We must provide our students

with opportunities to learn and experience different cultures and we must expose their

minds to different ways of solving problems or adapting to change. We must also provide

our students with the opportunities to work on real projects in partnership with leading

domestic and global organisations.

At MGSM, we offer a progressive and practical educational experience. We give our

students the edge because we operate at the very forefront of business. Our teaching

is grounded in the reality of what it means to work in business, not only in Australia but

around the world.

As we continue to evolve, my vision is for MGSM to be a business school which provides

a truly international and dynamic perspective on leadership and management, and one

where our students thrive because of our global profile and networks.

Professor Alex Frino Dean

MGSM & Macquarie UniversityMGSM’s main campus is located within the grounds of Macquarie University, one of Australia’s leading universities. MGSM’s facilities have been developed with the business-person in mind, but our students can also enjoy the many benefits of being associated with one of Australia’s premier universities, such as access to the state-of-the-art library as well as sports and recreational facilities.

MGSM

MGSM has an international reputation for excellence in

management education and is consistently ranked by The

Economist “Which MBA?” Survey as a leading business school

in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and on a global stage.

MGSM was established in 1969, one of the first business

schools to be created in Australia, with the purpose of

providing rigorous postgraduate education for managers

and executives.

We specialise in the delivery of a comprehensive suite of

postgraduate and MBA degree programs designed to fulfil

the needs of the management professional.

Much has changed in the last 45 years, but our mantra for

excellence has remained constant.

MACqUARIE UNIVERSITY

Situated in the north-west of Sydney, Macquarie University

has over 145,000 graduates and a current enrolment that

exceeds 38,000 students.

Macquarie University is one of Australia’s most dynamic

and progressive universities and is a leading institution for

research in Australia.

Macquarie University takes pride in its ability to deliver high

quality programs that specifically meet the needs of industry

and equip students with the skills and knowledge required to

meet the challenges of modern society.

Why MGSM?

Our postgraduate management education prepares students to operate at the frontier of business; providing a framework and a foundation for success in leadership across any function, in any country.

REPUTATION

MGSM is Sydney’s leading

business school and one of

the top business schools in

the world.

The school has received

the prestigious AACSB

accreditation and is

recognised internationally

for outstanding academic

quality that greatly

strengthens the career

development and

remuneration of its students.

Our MBA program ranks

number 1 in the world

for increase in salary,

with students achieving

an average 96 per cent

increase on pre-MBA salary

(The Economist Which MBA?

2013).

FLEXIBILITY

Catering to the career

demands of busy

professionals, MGSM

programs are designed to

give students maximum

flexibility.

From the Graduate

Certificate of Management

to the Master of Business

Administration (MBA),

our postgraduate courses

link together to form an

integrated pathway with

the opportunity to progress

from one to another.

The programs are available

full-time and part-time and

students have the flexibility

to switch between study

modes or even pause

their studies as lifestyle or

career dictates. Content is

delivered in weekly or block

format and online, providing

three distinct study options.

Our students can choose

to study at one of two

campuses in Sydney (North

Ryde and Sydney’s CBD),

and can even study part

of the course at our Hong

Kong campus.

The MGSM academic year

is divided into four terms

starting in January, April,

June and September.

Students can opt to start the

program at the beginning of

any of these four terms.

Regardless if study is

full-time or part-time, in

weekly, block or online

classes, at Sydney North

Ryde, CBD or Hong Kong

campus, the chosen

program follows the same

structure and delivers the

same high quality standards.

STUDENT qUALITY

The maturity and experience

of MGSM students are

significant. Over 70 per cent

of students possess at least

10 years of work experience.

In addition, MGSM students

are from different academic,

cultural and professional

backgrounds. This diversity,

aligned with the maturity of

our student cohort, enriches

the classroom environment

making the MGSM MBA a

unique and challenging

experience.

FOCUS

Our faculty are dedicated

solely to postgraduate

education, are highly

qualified and possess

extensive industry

experience, often

combining business

backgrounds with academic

excellence. The MGSM

teaching method is

grounded in the realities of

working in business. Highly

practical, our teaching

bridges the gap between

theory and ‘real-world’

application.

AUTONOMY

MGSM is one of the few

remaining autonomous

business schools in

Australia.

Our campuses are designed

specifically to accommodate

business professionals

and our faculty only teach

postgraduate content to

professional students.

“The internship unit offers

an opportunity to bring

everything together while you

are still in the program and

provide a valuable platform

during your transition to

another role. Since my official

internship ended in Sydney,

I have continued my contact

with the firm and have

accepted a manager position

at PwC China.”

Timothy Johns (UK) Intern at PwC 2013

A practical approachMGSM is committed to providing postgraduate degrees that are relevant, up-to-date with leading managerial practices and most importantly, practical.

THE LIVING CASE STUDY

As one of Australia’s

most connected business

schools, MGSM partners

with domestic and

global firms to deliver

a curriculum that is

grounded in industry and

reality. These business

partnerships enable

us to deliver highly

innovative units such as

the ‘Living Case Study’.

This elective unit of

study has seen MGSM

students entrenched in

management consulting

projects for major

organisations such as

Siemens, British Telecom

and Pfizer.

“We had been looking for

a different way to address

some of the strategic

issues facing Pfizer and this

collaboration represented a

unique opportunity to work

with academia to address an

issue that essentially affects

us all: access to cancer

medicines and funding new

cancer therapies.

Executives from our New

York office visited Sydney

to hear the student

presentations, and everyone

at Pfizer was delighted with

the results.”

MGSM Alumnus (2011) & Living Case Study Client Dr Masum Hossain

Regional President Asia-

Pacific Pfizer Oncology

“What sets MGSM’s MBA

program apart from the

traditional MBA is the

practical component and

the effort that the school

makes to engage with the

private sector and have

industry contribute to the

program. That gives the

student the opportunity

to work and learn from

real case scenarios and

not from something that is

hypothetical or determined

in the isolation of a

classroom environment.”

Living Case Study Client Andreas Roost

General Manager Value

Added Services, Siemens

“The question that we posed to

the students was fundamental,

and a key strategic issue facing

the organisation: how do we

increase GDP revenues in the

next three years, not just within

Australia, but also across other

parts of Asia and the globe?

I was really impressed that

the students very quickly

understood complex issues

and were able to present

excellent solutions.

The underlying theme of

‘Global Mindset’ through

the program really helped

the students consider and

draw up the best options. In

addition the subsequent piece

of Global Mindset work that

my Global Leadership team

undertook with MGSM served

to create new possibilities

and has improved the

performance of my business.

I would certainly recommend

this style of engagement to

other organisations.”

Living Case Study Client Robin Farnan Managing Director, BT Financial Technology Services

INTERNSHIP

The MGSM Management

Internship is a 10 week

work placement for MBA

students. The Internship

gives students at advanced

stages of their degree an

opportunity to work in an

Australian or multinational

organisation on a real-time

business project.

The Interns work

independently or as

part of a team from the

organisation under the

supervision of an MGSM

academic and the client

sponsor. At the conclusion

of the Internship the

student must present a

report to their sponsor and

MGSM. The report forms

the main basis of

the student’s assessment

for inclusion on their

academic record.

MGSM Interns are expected

to work at a senior level

and have advanced

communication, research,

writing, consulting and

project management skills.

SPONSORING ORGANISATIONS Australian Securities

Exchange (ASX), British

Telecom, Coca- Cola Amatil,

GE, GMO, Google, Johnson

& Johnson, LinkedIn,

Luxottica, Novartis, Nuplex,

Optus, Pfizer, PwC, Sapphire

Group, Siemens, Virgin and

Westpac are just some of

the employers who sponsor

MGSM interns.

”Working for GE Healthcare

was exactly what I hoped it

would be. The company’s

success rests on the business

model that their customers

be placed at the centre of

all important decisions. GE

Healthcare’s propensity for

innovation and collaboration

are truly amazing, and I am

proud to have been part of

such a great team.”

Stacy Anne Carbonel (Philippines)

Intern at GE Heathcare 2014

HONG KONG

MGSM has developed a strong

footprint in Hong Kong, one

of Asia’s most influential cities

and centres of banking and

finance. Our students can

elect to study units at our

Hong Kong campus as part

of any of the postgraduate

programs offered by MGSM

(units are taught in block

format only). The campus is

located in Wanchai, in the

heart of Hong Kong.

WHEN?MGSM’s academic year runs from early January to mid-December and consists of four 10 week terms, followed by one week of exams and one-week break between each term. Students can elect to enter the program at any of the four entry points throughout the calendar year: Term 1 - January Term 2 - April Term 3 - June

Term 4 - September

WHAT?Through our vast range of elective units, students are able to tailor the MBA to suit their specific needs and career aspirations. MGSM offers over 35 electives.

HOW?

Each unit of study consists

of 40 hours of lecture

time. Students can chose

from face-to-face classes,

delivered on weekly or block

formats or online.

Weekly classes enable

students to attend one

face-to-face class per week

throughout the 10-week

term. Block classes allow

students to study the

face-to-face hours

intensively over five days

(two weekends) within

the 10-week term. Block

classes are often preferred

by students who may be

required to travel for work

purposes.

Online Interactive classes

allow students to complete

the course units without

having to attend a physical

class location. Highly

interactive, each week

students participate in

activities using interactive

tools which may include

forums and wikis. The online

interactive classes are

offered within the same term

structure (over 10 weeks) as

our on-campus classes, and

deliver the same rigorous,

high quality learning

outcomes as our on-campus

units.

Note that, for each course

unit, you can select your

preferred study mode

depending on timetable

availability. That means that

you can mix and match

according to your work and

personal commitments.

POST - MBA PROGRAM

At MGSM we understand that the world of business doesn’t

stop changing once you’ve completed your MBA study.

To respond to changing business needs and ensure our

students remain top of their game, we have developed the

Graduate Certificate of Management Post-MBA program.

This is a four unit course designed for MBA graduates,

enabling alumni of MGSM (and other recognised business

schools) to extend their study, hone their skills and remain

at the cutting edge of business practice.

This program is unique in the Australian market and offered

only by MGSM.

Regardless of the graduation date, this extension program

further refines skills, broadens knowledge and provides

first hand access to the very latest management concepts

and tools required to face the constantly changing, global

business environment.

The program, which must be completed within one

calendar year, has been designed to offer flexibility and can

be achieved in a number of ways.

Students can elect to study any four units that they have

not already undertaken during the completion of the MBA

program. The chosen units can be studied in any format

(block or evening classes) at either the North Ryde or

Sydney CBD campus. Students can even elect to study any

of the four units at our Hong Kong campus (block format

only). To provide a truly international learning experience,

students can elect to complete the China Study Tour (two

units), plus two additional units.
