Six Australian MBA and Master’s programs have secured a spot in the global Top 50 best international business and trade master’s programmes, with the University of Sydney securing the top spot for local MBA providers.

The QS Quacquarelli Symonds (QS),  International Trade Rankings, are created in partnership with the Hinrich Foundation, a philanthropic organisation advancing sustainable global trade through education and research.

This edition assesses 87 programmes across 29 countries. Additionally, 30 Executive MBAs are ranked across 13 countries.

Six Australian MBA and Master’s programmes were ranked in the world’s top 50 with The University of Sydney Business School taking the country’s highest rank, placing eighth for its Master of International Business.

QS Senior Vice President Ben Sowter said Australia’s business education system was a world leader in training future leaders and innovators in International Trade.

“Its institutions stand out for their exceptional reputation while The University of Melbourne Business School sets a benchmark worldwide for its Industry Partnerships.”

“While many economies assess their global trade policies, businesses continue to operate and expand across borders, with financial flows remaining highly interconnected.

“This makes expertise in cross-border trade increasingly essential for effective decision-making and strategic planning. Australian business schools, spearheaded by The University of Sydney Business School, address this need by integrating training that prepares graduates to excel in diverse roles, from multinational corporations to government agencies and international organisations shaping global commerce.”
