Global Master of Business Administration (GMBA)

Tomorrow’s workplace is complex, challenging, and full of potential. Technology is disrupting existing markets while creating new opportunities and shifting how businesses fundamentally work. Macquarie University’s 100% online Global MBA program doesn’t just build your expertise in foundational MBA subjects such as marketing and accounting, it will help you develop the capabilities you need to differentiate yourself and succeed in the future. This exclusive structure from one of Australia’s top-ranked business schools delivers even more impact than a traditional MBA and prepares you for the boardrooms of tomorrow’s most successful companies.

Uniquely structured around six key future-focused capabilities, the Global MBA prepares you for success in the world of tomorrow through future-focused capabilities while still providing a traditional MBA curriculum in accounting, marketing, and other core business foundations. You’ll master Strategising, Leading, Analysing, Influencing, Adapting, and Problem Solving from the #11 school in the world for alumni career progression according to The Financial Times.

In a first-of-its-kind pathway, students who do not meet the direct admissions criteria can still be accepted based on performance. Students enrolled in the Performance Track (non-award) must complete at least 20 credit points (4 units) from any specialisation (with the exception of Problem Solving capstone), with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65. You can also enroll in individual unit(s) that interest you on a non-award basis. To apply for the Performance Track or to study an individual unit, please select the 'Non-Award' Application form.

You will solve real-world problems by collaborating with a range of industry partners. All four courses in the Capstone are co-created and co-delivered with industry partners to present you with a best-in-class toolkit.
