“We give our students the edge because we operate at the very forefront of business. Our teaching is grounded in the reality of what it means to work in business, not only in Australia but around the world.”Professor Alex Frino Dean
Since our inception in 1969, MGSM has consistently succeeded in delivering one of the
world’s leading Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs.
We are proud to be ranked among the top business schools in the world by The
Economist ‘Which MBA’ Survey. Further, our alumni network of 16,500 boasts CEO and
countless members of the C-suite, as well as entrepreneurs, consultants, directors and
even politicians.
Despite our long history of success, we must continue to look forward. Business no
longer happens within the four walls of an office and it is critical that MGSM not only
adapts but leads the way.
As I enter my second year as Dean of MGSM, I am focused on our continued evolution as
educators, innovators and researchers. I believe that developing a truly global mindset
amongst our students, faculty and academics is key to the continued success of our
school and our students.
It is essential that our students be exposed to cutting edge theories and techniques from
leading minds, whether they be in Australia or elsewhere. We must provide our students
with opportunities to learn and experience different cultures and we must expose their
minds to different ways of solving problems or adapting to change. We must also provide
our students with the opportunities to work on real projects in partnership with leading
domestic and global organisations.
At MGSM, we offer a progressive and practical educational experience. We give our
students the edge because we operate at the very forefront of business. Our teaching
is grounded in the reality of what it means to work in business, not only in Australia but
around the world.
As we continue to evolve, my vision is for MGSM to be a business school which provides
a truly international and dynamic perspective on leadership and management, and one
where our students thrive because of our global profile and networks.
Professor Alex Frino Dean

MGSM & Macquarie UniversityMGSM’s main campus is located within the grounds of Macquarie University, one of Australia’s leading universities. MGSM’s facilities have been developed with the business-person in mind, but our students can also enjoy the many benefits of being associated with one of Australia’s premier universities, such as access to the state-of-the-art library as well as sports and recreational facilities.
MGSM
MGSM has an international reputation for excellence in
management education and is consistently ranked by The
Economist “Which MBA?” Survey as a leading business school
in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and on a global stage.
MGSM was established in 1969, one of the first business
schools to be created in Australia, with the purpose of
providing rigorous postgraduate education for managers
and executives.
We specialise in the delivery of a comprehensive suite of
postgraduate and MBA degree programs designed to fulfil
the needs of the management professional.
Much has changed in the last 45 years, but our mantra for
excellence has remained constant.
MACqUARIE UNIVERSITY
Situated in the north-west of Sydney, Macquarie University
has over 145,000 graduates and a current enrolment that
exceeds 38,000 students.
Macquarie University is one of Australia’s most dynamic
and progressive universities and is a leading institution for
research in Australia.
Macquarie University takes pride in its ability to deliver high
quality programs that specifically meet the needs of industry
and equip students with the skills and knowledge required to
meet the challenges of modern society.
Why MGSM?

Our postgraduate management education prepares students to operate at the frontier of business; providing a framework and a foundation for success in leadership across any function, in any country.
REPUTATION
MGSM is Sydney’s leading
business school and one of
the top business schools in
the world.
The school has received
the prestigious AACSB
accreditation and is
recognised internationally
for outstanding academic
quality that greatly
strengthens the career
development and
remuneration of its students.
Our MBA program ranks
number 1 in the world
for increase in salary,
with students achieving
an average 96 per cent
increase on pre-MBA salary
(The Economist Which MBA?
2013).
FLEXIBILITY
Catering to the career
demands of busy
professionals, MGSM
programs are designed to
give students maximum
flexibility.
From the Graduate
Certificate of Management
to the Master of Business
Administration (MBA),
our postgraduate courses
link together to form an
integrated pathway with
the opportunity to progress
from one to another.
The programs are available
full-time and part-time and
students have the flexibility
to switch between study
modes or even pause
their studies as lifestyle or
career dictates. Content is
delivered in weekly or block
format and online, providing
three distinct study options.
Our students can choose
to study at one of two
campuses in Sydney (North
Ryde and Sydney’s CBD),
and can even study part
of the course at our Hong
Kong campus.
The MGSM academic year
is divided into four terms
starting in January, April,
June and September.
Students can opt to start the
program at the beginning of
any of these four terms.
Regardless if study is
full-time or part-time, in
weekly, block or online
classes, at Sydney North
Ryde, CBD or Hong Kong
campus, the chosen
program follows the same
structure and delivers the
same high quality standards.
STUDENT qUALITY
The maturity and experience
of MGSM students are
significant. Over 70 per cent
of students possess at least
10 years of work experience.
In addition, MGSM students
are from different academic,
cultural and professional
backgrounds. This diversity,
aligned with the maturity of
our student cohort, enriches
the classroom environment
making the MGSM MBA a
unique and challenging
experience.
FOCUS
Our faculty are dedicated
solely to postgraduate
education, are highly
qualified and possess
extensive industry
experience, often
combining business
backgrounds with academic
excellence. The MGSM
teaching method is
grounded in the realities of
working in business. Highly
practical, our teaching
bridges the gap between
theory and ‘real-world’
application.
AUTONOMY
MGSM is one of the few
remaining autonomous
business schools in
Australia.
Our campuses are designed
specifically to accommodate
business professionals
and our faculty only teach
postgraduate content to
professional students.

“The internship unit offers
an opportunity to bring
everything together while you
are still in the program and
provide a valuable platform
during your transition to
another role. Since my official
internship ended in Sydney,
I have continued my contact
with the firm and have
accepted a manager position
at PwC China.”
Timothy Johns (UK) Intern at PwC 2013
A practical approachMGSM is committed to providing postgraduate degrees that are relevant, up-to-date with leading managerial practices and most importantly, practical.
THE LIVING CASE STUDY
As one of Australia’s
most connected business
schools, MGSM partners
with domestic and
global firms to deliver
a curriculum that is
grounded in industry and
reality. These business
partnerships enable
us to deliver highly
innovative units such as
the ‘Living Case Study’.
This elective unit of
study has seen MGSM
students entrenched in
management consulting
projects for major
organisations such as
Siemens, British Telecom
and Pfizer.
“We had been looking for
a different way to address
some of the strategic
issues facing Pfizer and this
collaboration represented a
unique opportunity to work
with academia to address an
issue that essentially affects
us all: access to cancer
medicines and funding new
cancer therapies.
Executives from our New
York office visited Sydney
to hear the student
presentations, and everyone
at Pfizer was delighted with
the results.”
MGSM Alumnus (2011) & Living Case Study Client Dr Masum Hossain
Regional President Asia-
Pacific Pfizer Oncology
“What sets MGSM’s MBA
program apart from the
traditional MBA is the
practical component and
the effort that the school
makes to engage with the
private sector and have
industry contribute to the
program. That gives the
student the opportunity
to work and learn from
real case scenarios and
not from something that is
hypothetical or determined
in the isolation of a
classroom environment.”
Living Case Study Client Andreas Roost
General Manager Value
Added Services, Siemens
“The question that we posed to
the students was fundamental,
and a key strategic issue facing
the organisation: how do we
increase GDP revenues in the
next three years, not just within
Australia, but also across other
parts of Asia and the globe?
I was really impressed that
the students very quickly
understood complex issues
and were able to present
excellent solutions.
The underlying theme of
‘Global Mindset’ through
the program really helped
the students consider and
draw up the best options. In
addition the subsequent piece
of Global Mindset work that
my Global Leadership team
undertook with MGSM served
to create new possibilities
and has improved the
performance of my business.
I would certainly recommend
this style of engagement to
other organisations.”
Living Case Study Client Robin Farnan Managing Director, BT Financial Technology Services
INTERNSHIP
The MGSM Management
Internship is a 10 week
work placement for MBA
students. The Internship
gives students at advanced
stages of their degree an
opportunity to work in an
Australian or multinational
organisation on a real-time
business project.
The Interns work
independently or as
part of a team from the
organisation under the
supervision of an MGSM
academic and the client
sponsor. At the conclusion
of the Internship the
student must present a
report to their sponsor and
MGSM. The report forms
the main basis of
the student’s assessment
for inclusion on their
academic record.
MGSM Interns are expected
to work at a senior level
and have advanced
communication, research,
writing, consulting and
project management skills.
SPONSORING ORGANISATIONS Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX), British
Telecom, Coca- Cola Amatil,
GE, GMO, Google, Johnson
& Johnson, LinkedIn,
Luxottica, Novartis, Nuplex,
Optus, Pfizer, PwC, Sapphire
Group, Siemens, Virgin and
Westpac are just some of
the employers who sponsor
MGSM interns.
”Working for GE Healthcare
was exactly what I hoped it
would be. The company’s
success rests on the business
model that their customers
be placed at the centre of
all important decisions. GE
Healthcare’s propensity for
innovation and collaboration
are truly amazing, and I am
proud to have been part of
such a great team.”
Stacy Anne Carbonel (Philippines)
Intern at GE Heathcare 2014

the world’s top business schools.
As a result, recruiters, employers,

I chose to do an MBA to build a global business network and

my ‘go-to’ business school.

includes excellently appointed
teaching rooms and syndicate
rooms, a computer room and
catering facilities.
HONG KONG
MGSM has developed a strong
footprint in Hong Kong, one
of Asia’s most influential cities
and centres of banking and
finance. Our students can
elect to study units at our
Hong Kong campus as part
of any of the postgraduate
programs offered by MGSM
(units are taught in block
format only). The campus is
located in Wanchai, in the
heart of Hong Kong.
WHEN?MGSM’s academic year runs from early January to mid-December and consists of four 10 week terms, followed by one week of exams and one-week break between each term. Students can elect to enter the program at any of the four entry points throughout the calendar year: Term 1 - January Term 2 - April Term 3 - June
Term 4 - September
WHAT?Through our vast range of elective units, students are able to tailor the MBA to suit their specific needs and career aspirations. MGSM offers over 35 electives.
HOW?
Each unit of study consists
of 40 hours of lecture
time. Students can chose
from face-to-face classes,
delivered on weekly or block
formats or online.
Weekly classes enable
students to attend one
face-to-face class per week
throughout the 10-week
term. Block classes allow
students to study the
face-to-face hours
intensively over five days
(two weekends) within
the 10-week term. Block
classes are often preferred
by students who may be
required to travel for work
purposes.
Online Interactive classes
allow students to complete
the course units without
having to attend a physical
class location. Highly
interactive, each week
students participate in
activities using interactive
tools which may include
forums and wikis. The online
interactive classes are
offered within the same term
structure (over 10 weeks) as
our on-campus classes, and
deliver the same rigorous,
high quality learning
outcomes as our on-campus
units.
Note that, for each course
unit, you can select your
preferred study mode
depending on timetable
availability. That means that
you can mix and match
according to your work and
personal commitments.

POST - MBA PROGRAM
At MGSM we understand that the world of business doesn’t
stop changing once you’ve completed your MBA study.
To respond to changing business needs and ensure our
students remain top of their game, we have developed the
Graduate Certificate of Management Post-MBA program.
This is a four unit course designed for MBA graduates,
enabling alumni of MGSM (and other recognised business
schools) to extend their study, hone their skills and remain
at the cutting edge of business practice.
This program is unique in the Australian market and offered
only by MGSM.
Regardless of the graduation date, this extension program
further refines skills, broadens knowledge and provides
first hand access to the very latest management concepts
and tools required to face the constantly changing, global
business environment.
The program, which must be completed within one
calendar year, has been designed to offer flexibility and can
be achieved in a number of ways.
Students can elect to study any four units that they have
not already undertaken during the completion of the MBA
program. The chosen units can be studied in any format
(block or evening classes) at either the North Ryde or
Sydney CBD campus. Students can even elect to study any
of the four units at our Hong Kong campus (block format
only). To provide a truly international learning experience,
students can elect to complete the China Study Tour (two
units), plus two additional units.
