University of Technology Sydney MBA

The University of Technology Sydney MBA, Executive MBA (EMBA) and MBA in Entrepreneurship are offered through the highly regarded UTS Business School. UTS Business School offers more than 40 postgraduate courses and over 150 postgraduate business (and related) subjects covering the full breadth of the business and professional worlds – including the MBA, Executive MBA and MBA in Entrepreneurship programs. The School is AACSB accredited.

Originally starting as a institute of technology, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) achieved university status in 1988, making it one of the country’s youngest. The educators, however, have roots that reach back as far as the 1960s. Over that time they have grown in size to become one of the country’s biggest universities – with over 37,000 students currently enrolled. They offer over 130 undergraduate courses and a staggering 210 postgraduate courses. UTS is part of the Australian Technology Network of universities: a group of five prominent universities committed to working with industry and government to deliver practical and professional courses. Largely because of their relative youth, they also have some of the most modern facilities – including 24-hour computer labs.

The UTS Business School is the largest and one of the oldest faculties at the university and recently received a new addition – the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building building – a major new $180 million facility which was designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry.

The UTS MBA is driven by relevance to the workplace – offering subjects that will instil real-world skills into the students. This is achieved through initiatives like reviewing the course regularly and having an industry board approve the subjects offered. It is also designed with flexibility in mind – allowing students to develop an MBA that matches their employment aspirations. This framework helps create graduates that are some of the most employable in the country.

“Whether you pursue a career in a large private sector company, the public sector, a  community organisation or an entrepreneurial venture, your business education at UTS will provide you with a soundly based understanding of the changing world in which business and organisations operate, and of the challenges this brings. The business world of the future is yours to shape – a compelling opportunity but also a great responsibility.”  University of Technology Sydney Business School Dean Professor Roy Green
