An Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an advanced general management degree designed for managers who wish to develop a solid business foundation, as well as skills and knowledge of cutting-edge business practices for the 21st century. At Griffith we offer two Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs, both are focused around our values of responsible leadership; sustainable business practices; and a global perspective with the aim of making you an effective globally responsible business leader. The two programs we offer differ in their delivery style; one is fully flexible and can be studied online or face to face in a standard 12 week trimester (MBA program 5158). The accelerated program is online only, and each course is delivered over a 6 week period (MBA program 5670). These two delivery styles allow you to choose the method of study that suits you best and both programs are assessed authentically meaning that you can apply what you learn to your workplace with immediate benefit.
In both programs you will study courses in sustainability, accounting and reporting, finance, people management, strategy and innovation and managing change through responsible leadership. Through study you will be equipped with an understanding of the key functional areas within a business and the challenges facing businesses. If you choose the fully flexible option you can choose to focus your electives in a particular area for example, finance, marketing or supply chain management. The accelerated online MBA program has twelve set courses and no electives.
Griffith University offers a number of study options for Business Administration. Find out more about our Business Administration programs.

The Master of Business Administration is offered full-time on-campus in Trimester 1 and 2 and is also available to students through a blended delivery format, combining online materials with access to the presentations of academics and external speakers. You may choose to study courses online and at other campuses if or where the program structure or your student visa allows.
The Master of Business Administration program is also offered online. The online program is not available to international students studying in Australia on a student visa.
International students must maintain a full-time study load. If you are an International student on a student visa you must ensure that you enrol in a way that will allow you to complete your enrolment within the expected program duration as stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
Attendance will normally be 3 hours per week per course for standard delivery or equivalent amount of time for courses delivered in intensive or online mode. As a full-time student, you will generally attend 10-15 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the trimester.
Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week, as well as in intensive mode (several full days in a row, often including at least some weekend class time). Sufficient classes will be scheduled in the evenings and in intensive mode to accommodate part-time students with employment or other responsibilities that limit weekday course engagement.
International students are expected to make themselves available to attend all Orientation sessions commencing from day 1 of Orientation week. International students who cannot arrive in the country to begin studies by teaching week 1, must gain prior permission from the Master of Business Administration (MBA) Director to commence the program in that particular trimester.
The International Exchange component provides an opportunity for eligible MBA students to obtain experience at one of Griffith's international partner universities. Students may undertake international exchange components in any combination of 10 credit point, 20 credit point or 30 credit point programs provided the total number of credit points undertaken in international exchange components does not exceed 40 credit points. Students wishing to apply for international exchange components must:

Selected MBA students will have the opportunity to attend the European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM) program to explore the future of business in an international environment. Students must apply directly to ESSAM in the first instance. Details can be found on website. If application to the program is approved by European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM), students must then seek approval from the MBA Director. Students who attend and successfully complete the program will have their studies credited to their MBA program as 20 credit points of Free-choice electives. European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM) will not normally be credited towards MBA core courses.
Please note that courses completed at European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM) will NOT be included in the student's GPA calculation.
Approval to attend European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM) is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the MBA Director. Students who wish to complete the major in Public Policy are not eligible to attend European Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM). Please note that the Public Policy major is not available from 2021.
