Master of Business Administration

Deakin's MBA runs through a business school with AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA triple accreditation, and the course leans on that positioning. It's aimed at students with existing work experience rather than fresh graduates, and admission typically expects a few years in the workforce alongside the academic prerequisites. Delivery is flexible: trimester-based, available on campus at Burwood or through Deakin's Cloud Campus online model, which suits the working-professional cohort the MBA is actually built for.

Core units cover strategy, finance, leadership and business analytics, and students choose a specialisation stream (options have included areas like international business, marketing, or project management) before a capstone business strategy project that typically asks students to solve a real problem for their own organisation or an external partner, rather than a purely theoretical case study exercise.
