Masters (Coursework)
You'll investigate, critique, and completely rethink traditional business theories while exploring new forms of creative and collaborative leadership paradigms for a volatile environment. You'll learn from the Tasmanian business and community representatives, including industry groups, communities, and NGOs in Tasmania, through guest lectures, our 'rethink' seminar series, face-to-face networking opportunities, and immersive learning sessions run right here in Tasmania.
Explore iconic Tasmanian destinations to gain unique insights into business operations. Learn from community experiences as you experience first-hand how leaders overcome local and global challenges to build thriving businesses with sustainable goals. Our program goes beyond course content, offering personal and executive development through extracurricular activities such as career planning, media training, and simulations.
Recognising that businesses are interconnected and thrive on diverse perspectives, including non-western paradigms, we prepare you to become a well-rounded future leader. With a solid foundation of capabilities, knowledge, and experience, you'll be equipped to tackle today's challenges and seize tomorrow's opportunities.

The Executive MBA is your steppingstone from management into leadership and beyond . The aim of the program is to develop capabilities to envision and respond to the profound shifts in the way business works as part of a broader community. Capabilities such as risk management, resilience, strategic thinking and ethical leadership developed during this course are in demand locally, nationally, and globally. They are relevant across commercial, public sector, and not-for-profit organisations at very senior levels.
The Executive MBA prepares you to meet the demands of organisations seeking deep managerial competence, human-centred leadership capability, strategic focus, and a commitment to sustainable business. Executive level, broad-based business capabilities, are in short supply with employers expecting formal qualifications to complement managerial work experience and the deep, practical insights that MBA courses develop.
