Budding MBAs from the Apple Isle will be able to get a taste of the opportunities available from the country’s top business schools when the MBA and Postgrad Studies Expo visits Hobart this weekend.
The Expo will be held from 10am-5pm this Saturday (April 5) at the Hotel Grand Chancellor. Entry is free.
Visitors will also be able to listen in to two great presentations:
11.30am What can an MBA do for you? – Sue Hickey, Alderman Hobart City Council, UTas Alumni
Undertaking an MBA is a considered decision given the commitment required and the inevitable juggling of life that ensues. Hear first-hand how one University of Tasmania alumni realised her ambitions and amassed unforseen dividends along the way. Sue will provide insights into the opportunities, challenges and rewards of this investment and leave you with some key guidelines as you consider your own course of study.
