The CEO Magazine has ranked Swinburne's MBA (Executive) as number one in Australia.
The program also placed 17th in the world in the Global Executive MBA Rankings 2021 and maintained its tier one ranking for its MBA and MBA online.
Swinburne’s MBA (Executive) focuses on building and teaching the key skills business leaders and managers need to enter the ‘next phase’ of their careers and its Leadership Simulator allows to test real-life situations in a unique way.
MBA Executive provided me with new ways of thinking, learning, seeing the world, and approaching problems. The course has had a positive impact on my pesonal and professional life. I now feel more equipped to tackle the inevitable challenges and opportunities of living an engaged life.

Be an innovator
Undertake this course and you’ll be joining other change-makers at Swinburne’s Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship – the first dedicated entrepreneurship school in the nation. One of our unique AGSE offerings, this course will give you the mindset of edge.
“Entrepreneurship,” says AGSE Director, Alex Kaiser (pictured), “is about questioning the status-quo, identifying opportunities, making decisions and implementing ideas. Concisely, it’s about having impact.”
Go from student to CEO
Swinburne has partnered with the Institute of Managers and Leaders to provide you with the essential skills and qualifications needed to go from student to CEO.
Through the institute, MBA students take part in exclusive industry workshops, business case studies, one-to-one mentoring, and personalised professional development.
You’ll also access Australia’s largest network of management and leadership professionals through membership to the institute for the duration, plus one year, of your studies.
AACSB Accreditation
Swinburne business degrees are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. The alumni of AACSB accredited business schools are among the world’s most influential leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs impacting business, government, and non-profit sectors. Only five per cent of business schools worldwide are AACSB accredited.
The Leadership Simulator component provided me with first-hand experience of crisis management and decision-making during a high-stakes situation - a realistic redundancy scenario. When I went to a job interview, I highlighted how this developed my leadership skills, improved my competencies by providing 360-degrees performance analysis, and taught me new and practical ways to lead under pressure. I got the job! So my advice is: Just do it! It's worth every dollar.
