International Graduate School of Business
Welcome to the International Graduate School of Business (IGSB) at the University of South Australia (UniSA). UniSA is the largest university in the state of South Australia, with more than 30,000 students; and the IGSB is one of Australia's largest graduate management schools, with more than 1,500 students.
As you will discover in exploring this website, the IGSB is a truly international centre of excellence in postgraduate management education and research, with a particular focus on the Asia Pacific region. Our MBA program is taught in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, as well as at our home campus in Adelaide, South Australia. In addition our MIB program, currently offered in Adelaide, addresses the challenges of working effectively in the international marketplace.
To meet the needs of our students across Asia, our teaching staff include a team of highly qualified Mandarin speaking academics. In addition, our School is extensively engaged in doctoral research, examining the contemporary business environment in Australia and right across Asia. Our PhD program and DBA program are available in Singapore and Hong Kong (For a list of some of our recent doctoral research please see our research page.)
Our vision is to become a business school that integrates management
knowledge from both Western and Eastern perspectives, ensuring that our
students become managers who are able to lead and manage in either
environment.
If you have a strong research record, particularly with an
Asian business focus,
and would like to work on collaborative projects, then
we are interested in you!
If you join an IGSB program you will share a stimulating and challenging learning journey accompanied by student colleagues from all walks of life, who are practising managers, and who will share the wealth of their experience to enrich your learning.
Each of our programs has been skilfully crafted to include a comprehensive set of learning outcomes, integrating the knowledge and skills that are essential to leading and managing in your organisation. Our programs are both demanding and rewarding and our aim is to attract students who value the journey as much as the destination. When you do reach your destination you will join an influential alumni network, made up of managers from across the Asia Pacific region.
We emphasise the Asia Pacific region, and believe that our programs have global appeal because of the region's dynamic, developing economies. Our MBA is, therefore, available online to students anywhere in the world, through a highly interactive delivery model, which replicates best practice in the MBA shared learning environments. With fees set in Australian dollars this option is likely to be very attractive to the students in well established economies, particularly in the US and Europe, as well as to students with a mobile lifestyle!
So, once again, welcome to the International Graduate School of Business. Please take your time to explore this website and learn more about the exciting learning opportunities that we are able to offer you. For further information please feel free to email igsb.info@unisa.edu.au with your queries.
