Advance your career in leadership without putting work on hold.
A part-time MBA allows you to balance your studies with your professional and personal commitments. At AGSM, we offer two part-time MBA options: the AGSM Executive MBA and the MBAX (Online MBA). Both programs provide a comprehensive education with the flexibility to accommodate your busy schedule. Ìý
The Executive MBA at AGSM is a part-time program, designed for experienced executives, managers and professionals. It combines experiential learning, deep reflection and professional experiences to help you develop your commercial acumen, innovative thinking and leadership skills. The AGSM Executive MBA includes a combination of online and face-to-face, part-time learning options, with classes conveniently located in the Sydney CBD. The Executive MBA also provides opportunities to take your studies overseas by harnessing our network of top business schools in more than 30 countries.
The MBAX is AGSM’s online MBA offering. It’s ranked in the top 5 online MBA programs globally*, and offers the flexibility to study entirely online. This program is ideal if you want to specialise in a particular area, such as Change, Finance or Law. The ‘X’ in MBAX represents the opportunity to specialise in one of seven streams, or complete generalist program. The ‘X’ is an unofficial term which will not show on your official university transcripts or documents. The MBAX requires around 10-12 hours of study per week and is designed to align with your current professional projects and interests, so you can maintain your performance at work while building your leadership capability.
The AGSM Executive MBA is designed for professionals looking for a blend of online and face-to-face learning, with an emphasis on immersive, experiential learning experiences. It suits those who prefer a structured, interactive program with opportunities for networking and collaboration. One particularly valuable experience that is unique to AGSM’s Executive MBA is the series of residential experiences you’ll complete in your final year. You’ll harness the power of collective strategy and intelligence through three 5-day blocks of immersive, on the-ground learning to support your professional development.Ìý

The MBAX is better suited to those seeking a flexible online program with the option to specialise in specific areas. However, the MBAX also has face-to-face options in Sydney. It’s perfect for professionals who need to balance their studies with significant work and personal commitments, and who are interested in developing specialised knowledge in a particular area of business.
The AGSM Executive MBA is a part-time program that can be completed across 2-6 years. It’s designed for professionals who want to continue working full-time while they study and apply their learnings directly to their current role. The Full-time MBA is a more intensive program and requires candidates to take a career break in order to fully immerse in the program. It requires 12 months of full-time study and aims to rapidly advance your career progression.
Studying a part-time MBA allows you to gain advanced business knowledge and leadership skills without interrupting your career. It gives you the flexibility to study at your own pace and maintain a steady balance between your work, study and personal commitments. It also means you can apply your learning in real time, growing your impact at work as you study, which could lead to immediate career progression and other professional opportunities.
