MBA Discovery can help you explore your study options and find the right course to shape your future as a leader.

The time it takes to complete an MBA program will depend on the university and your chosen program. It can take anywhere from two years to six years part-time, depending on how much time you can commit to study for each unit.
An MBA is an invaluable investment and will equip you with the comprehensive business knowledge and exposure to leadership theories you need to secure that promotion and excel as a future leader.
Fees will vary between institutions. An MBA’s total price is based on the cost of each unit.

Each university has specific eligibility criteria, though students will typically need to have completed a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline or postgraduate studies, as well as have experience in the field of business. However, some universities give students the option to enrol in an MBA based on their relevant experience only, widening the doors for those wishing to study an MBA who have no prior university education. Be sure to check individual course details for more information.
Even if you do not have a bachelor’s degree, you can still find a pathway to study for an online MBA. Some universities, including Victoria University and Southern Cross University, consider recognition of prior learning and strong experience in business. Advanced Standing is also offered for some courses and is a great way to earn credits towards your MBA.
Below is a breakdown of the fees from MBA Discovery universities. Always refer to the individual course guidelines for more information.
