The MBA Tour CEO and Managing Director Peter von Loesecke said since its creation in 1993, the tour’s emphasis has been on personal interaction between prospective MBA students, business school admissions representatives, alumni and other like-minded education enthusiasts.
“As an independent and high quality information source for MBA admissions, we have built our reputation based on representing top business schools from North America, Europe, Asia, and South America,” he said.
“The next logical step was to include institutions from Australia.
“The high-quality of prospective MBA students in Australia, paired with the excellent course offerings provided by Australian MBA programs, made holding our events in Sydney and Melbourne a prime opportunity.
“We look forward to connecting future MBAs with Australia and the world’s best Business Schools.”
The MBA Tour hosts 60 MBA events per year in over 30 countries.
University business schools included in the tour are rigorously chosen by an advisory board of peers.
“We define our brand by providing unique opportunities for personal interaction between top business schools and potential students from around the world,” Mr von Loesecke said.
When the tour hits Melbourne and Sydney, the business schools selected for the showroom floor will have the opportunity to host talks, panels, and presentations in an educational conference format that will help attending students learn more about the people and business schools present.
“This helps students select a university to suit their specific career and lifestyle goals,” Mr von Loesecke said.
