International Graduate School of Business
In
2006 we celebrated 25 years of our MBA.
The MBA, along with the very popular Graduate Diploma in Management (Arts), started in 1981 in the Elton Mayo School of Management, until the formation of the IGSB as a separate School in 1991, when we also offered the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration.
By 1994 we were offering short-term high level Executive Development courses in topic areas ranging from Global Market Advantage through to Business Process Reengineering, and we had initiated the Graduate Certificate in Management, with 50 students in the first intake in that year.
After a period of rapid growth, the School soon expanded into South East Asia, in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia to offer the MBA across the region. Our first international MBA's graduated in 1995.
In 1997 we launched the Online MBA, being one of the pioneers in Australia to offer a completely online environment.
In 1997 the School also launched its MBA in Mandarin to the mainland China marketplace, along with Hong Kong and Singapore.
