“With qualifications in science and intellectual property, I decided to undertake an MbA to develop a comprehensive understanding of business. Studying at MbS has brought me closer to realising my goal of becoming an influential, passionate and responsible leader in industry. Taking 12 months away from full-time work was a big decision, but one that I am very pleased to have made. The program is challenging but has enabled me to make more efficient and informed business decisions in high-pressure environments. In addition to academic studies, becoming involved with the Student Association has allowed me to extend my network and work towards improving the student experience at MbS.”

“Coming from a different cultural background, I initially felt intimidated at the prospect of immersing myself in a new school, new city and new experience. I am pleased to report that I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Through encouragement and support, my teachers and peers have helped me overcome this barrier and I have been rewarded with numerous lively class discussions, as well as the formation of many close relationships with faculty and students. I credit MbS for making me more open minded and feel well prepared and excited for what the future holds. Living in Melbourne has also enhanced my MbA experience. Melbourne is a lively city with so much culture and entertainment on offer. I have been to several events with my classmates this year, and can honestly say these experiences made the highly intensive program more fun and less stressful.”

“before applying to MbS I was a lawyer looking to move into a marketing role. I applied for a few jobs but couldn’t seem to make any headway. I originally intended to study part-time - my wife was pregnant with our first child when I started at MbS so I was keen to minimise time spent out of the workforce. I eventually opted for the full-time MbA as the 12 month format allowed me to complete the classroom requirements in 9 months and spend the remaining 3 months doing a paid internship. One of the highlights of my MbA experience was taking Mark Ritson’s brand Management course. Ritson is one of the world’s leading experts on brand and his class is like spending 5 days listening to the most interesting guy at the pub tell war stories about the world’s leading brands. His class reinforced my aspirations of working in marketing and I came out of it with a strong technical understanding of brand management.”

JANUARY 2014 GRADUATING CLASS

“The Internship Program is a great way to identify and work with high calibre people who have easy access to Academics. Melbourne business School interns offer contemporary thinking and great new ideas. This stems from their exposure to cutting edge research and learning. It has been a pleasure working with MbS and its students. I had not bargained on the challenge of being presented with so many high calibre candidates – it was difficult to make the final decision on internship placements.”

DR LIz WALKERCEO, Lort Smith Animal Hospital

For every intake of MbA students, the Career Centre facilitates interesting and challenging internships in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.

Melbourne business School partners with some of the leading companies in the global marketplace, helping them find the right candidates to join their team to assist with product development, strategic planning and operational implementation.

Employed for up to 12 weeks from May to August, or up to 6 weeks from December to January, our students provide valuable and cost-effective ways to address short-term business opportunities.

Additionally, an MBS internship allows your organisation a means to identify and test high performance individuals ‘on the job’, prior to deciding on an ongoing opportunity. The program affords you the time to evaluate the degree of alignment between a candidate’s core values and your company’s culture.

With a strong focus on syndicate work, the program has provided the perfect training ground for me to appreciate the different approaches and perspectives of classmates from diverse backgrounds. Leaders will always need to work with people from different professional and cultural backgrounds. It is the ability to extract the best results from such diversity that will in the end define the quality of your work. The MbA has given me a chance to step back and solidify the experience I gained from my years working in the financial services industry.

“I had 8 years industry experience prior to commencing the full-time MbA and credit the program with allowing me to identify my long-term career aspirations. For me, the main takeaway has been the knowledge gained across industries and a refined set of leadership skills, which I put into practice from day one at the school. I am the Vice President of the Energy & Resources Club and an elected member of the Student Representative Council. The ability to shape the student experience and contribute to the School while putting theory into practice in these roles has made me a better leader. I will start work as a Specialist at Westpac Group Technology Services next year; something I did not imagine was within reach before I entered the MbS program. I have achieved so much in the last 12 months thanks largely to the world-class faculty, diverse student body and continuous leadership opportunities available at MbS.”
