La Trobe University, Graduate School of Management

The MBA Program Tailored For You

With life-long learning a fact of life more and more people are ensuring that they are fully briefed on postgraduate courses they feel are appropriate to their needs and circumstances. MBA programs have become very popular, each program quite different to the next.

The MBA at La Trobe University’s Graduate School of Management has a broad range of subjects giving students the opportunity to follow a particular stream eg. human resources management, marketing and finance or if preferred to study subjects from every steam. The MBA consists of sixteen subjects with six core subjects and ten elective subjects. Students can tailor the program to suit their current and future career needs. The School also has the flexibility of four intakes a year, January, April, July and September.

The Graduate School of Management offers a dynamic and academically rigorous education in management skills taught by academic staff with practical business experience in Australia and internationally. These skills provide students with the global perspective needed to be successful managers in the 21st century.

Facilities and services at the School include comprehensive library facilities, twenty-four hour access to computer laboratories, sports and recreational facilities and the opportunity to participate in professional and social clubs. The University also provides access to world-class medical centre facilities and a dental service.

Other features offered to all students at the School include the opportunity to take advantage of a career workshop that is available twice yearly. The Graduate School of Management in partnership with TMP/Hudson Global Resources present these workshops consisting of two seminars to assist students in the strategic management of their career. Also available is the opportunity for students to spend up to two terms abroad at one of the School’s exchange partners in countries including France, Norway, Denmark and the USA. Many Australian students cannot normally (because of work and family commitments) take advantage of the exchange program so the School is trialling a new approach to the exchange program by organising a trip to Dijon, France for a three-week intensive two-subject research subject, ‘Business in Europe’.
