The best Australian universities for business and management

There is no official ranking of Australian universities by field of study, so "best for business and management" comes down to research reputation, industry links, and how seriously a university invests in the area.

This shortlist is the universities with a genuine reputation in business and management, with a note on what sets each apart. For the full list of every university that teaches it, plus the cheapest programs, see the business and management subject page.

How this list was built

Curated from the research strengths, specialist facilities, and industry links each university is known for in business and management. It is not a league table, and a strong department at a lower-ranked university can beat a weak one at a famous name. Check the specific program.
