UniSA's Online MBA

Study for an MBA online in unique virtual classrooms, where students interact and question lecturers on the Net. It’s a proven study method that’s already achieved solid results. Join nearly 200 other busy managers from all over the globe who have already enrolled in our world-class MBA and take part in our "world classroom".

"The online MBA program provided me with the ideal way of advancing my education and skills. During the program, I had a heavy requirement to travel for my employer. This made it difficult to attend regular lectures or tutorials using a traditional learning approach. The online MBA allowed me to choose the time and place to study and interact with other students, making it easy to fit around family and work commitments. "

Facilities and Asset Management

As organisations strive to make more effective use of existing assets and seek more sustainable solutions in new assets, the demand for properly educated and qualified Facilities and Asset Managers will continue to increase. UniSA's postgraduate programs in Facilities and Asset Management provide strategic asset management skills as well as advanced operational knowledge. UniSA has a midyear entry into this program.

"The teaching staff involved with the program have been very supportive, and in my case have made for a more comfortable transition back into regular study. The staff are receptive to the commitments of postgraduate and part-time students in the program, and though assessment tasks can become challenging, they give the necessary direction and encouragement for us to work independently and confidently in self directed learning."

Benjamin Scholes
Asset Management Project Officer
Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (SA Government)
