COURSE DESCRIPTION
Achieving a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Curtin University means that you hold an internationally respected qualification from an elite global business school – recognised through triple accreditation by EQUIS, AACSB International and EFMD (Accredited MBA). Curtin is also respected as a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education.
Our MBA not only gives you the fundamental skills in financial management and economics, but also in the business leadership, decision-making and organisational strategies that underpin sustainable business practices. These areas of expertise align with contemporary practices and challenges in industry and reflect the unpredictability of global business markets.
Curtin’s MBA also gives you the opportunity to specialise in one of four areas of business expertise:
Business Administration: In this specialisation you’ll gain the ability to create and evaluate innovative ideas and strategise for unpredictable business environments.
Digital Finance: In this specialisation you’ll gain the digital finance skills that are fundamental to contemporary business and entrepreneurship.
Energy Transition: In this specialisation you’ll gain advanced knowledge of oil, gas and energy management and learn how to adapt business strategies to energy sector changes.
Leadership: In this specialisation you’ll explore the philosophy and ethics of leadership and current and future leadership challenges.
If you’re looking to step up from a technical career or switch careers, this MBA will give you the skills and confidence – as well as the knowledge, skills, theory and terminology – to progress your career.
