The Good Universities Guide has rated our MBA as 5-Star for 2008/2009.  The rating is determined by the Graduate Management Association of Australia and was published in the 2009 Good Universities Guide in late August 2008.  This makes our MBA the highest rated MBA in South Australia, and one of the elite MBAs in Australia.

EQUIS

EQUIS AccreditedEQUIS Accreditation

In 2004 the Division of Business secured accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development under its European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). We chose to apply for EQUIS accreditation as the European system stresses things which are important to us, including internationalisation, diversity and links with the corporate world. This accreditation was renewed for another 3 years in 2007.
