MBAX is AGSM’s next generation online MBA. This is a unique online management degree that also allows you to specialise. The innovative online format allows you to gain an MBA from a leading business school with a flexibility that fits in with your lifestyle. You’ll be able to apply the concepts and tools to your professional life immediately, while preparing for great things in the future; accelerating your current career, following a new path or building a new enterprise.

The MBAX has the same, demanding admissions criteria as AGSM’s other MBAs. All candidates must have at least six years relevant professional experience for direct entry into the Masters program, or a combination of a prior undergraduate degree with at least two years work experience.

The MBAX suite of programs has evolved out of the successful Master of Business and Technology (MBT). The MBT attracted highly experienced professionals from many leading international and Australian based organisations. A key feature of the MBT class is its diversity in terms of the industries, roles and functions of participants. Student feedback regularly highlights how valuable this diversity was not only in enhancing the learning environment but also to subsequent career progression.

The MBAX is designed to be undertaken part-time in combination with full-time employment and in online mode. Classes are in small groups of approximately 25-28 participants with a dedicated facilitator. Classes are accessed via secure online login and the participation model is asynchronous, meaning increased flexibility in how you balance your studies with other commitments.

The specialisations available are:
Technology
Change
