Part-time study for the AGSM MBA is available only during the elective stage of the AGSM MBA.

Currently students who are admitted to the AGSM MBA program are eligible to apply to undertake an exchange. It is desirable to identify exchange partners where a combination of business and law courses could be undertaken.
