Online MBAs
Advance your leadership skills while you work and study with Australia’s #1 Online MBA program.
What is an online MBA?
An online MBA in Australia allows professionals to study and obtain an MBA entirely online. They follow a similar structure and include the same coursework as an in-person MBA, but the lessons are delivered online. That means you can study from anywhere in the world and schedule your learning around your existing commitments.Ìý
At AGSM, our online MBAs are called MBAX programs and include eight specialisations (with the option to complete a generalist program) to suit your interests and career aspirations. The ‘X’ in MBAX represents the opportunity to specialise.ÌýThe ‘X’ will not appear on your official university academic transcripts or graduation testamur.Ìý
Our Executive MBA can also be studied mostly online, accommodating the needs of busy professionals. All AGSM programs incorporate online elements to provide a comprehensive and accessible learning experience.
