Online learning is booming and demand for the MBAx has nearly doubled over the same time last year.<\/p>\n \u201cAGSM has once again been recognised as one of the top ranked Online MBAs in the world,\u201d said Nick Wailes, AGSM Director and Deputy Dean UNSW Business School. \u201cWe are very proud of the program, the outstanding students it attracts and the success of our alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n Employability reflects 30% of the total ranking score and the AGSM MBAX scored 81.2 out of 100 on this metric (the global mean score is 49.3). It is calculated based on the results of the QS Global Employer Survey that asks employers from which schools they prefer to hire business school graduates.<\/p>\n Employers across all sectors, types, and geographic regions take part including leading business school hiring companies such as McKinsey, Google, Siemens, Airbus, and many more.<\/p>\n \u201cEmployers perceive value in leaders who are equipped to contribute to the organisation and our Online MBA alumni are just as successful as the graduates of our full-time or executive MBA programs,\u201d said Wailes. \u201cThey have access to the same contemporary curriculum, experienced faculty and robust alumni network,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can select the core courses that suit their needs and then specialise in Change, Technology, Finance or Social Impact,\u201d he said. \u201cLater this year we will add an additional MBAX specialisation in Medical Technology and Pharmaceuticals.\u201d<\/p>\n Curtin University Faculty of Business and Law Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel de Bussy said there has never been a more important time for universities to offer quality online courses.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the current pandemic continues to disrupt conventional learning, Curtin is proud to offer a consistently high quality online MBA program that offers students a seamless learning experience,\u201d Professor de Bussy said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe QS Rankings are a highly regarded source of comparative data in terms of online MBAs and I am delighted Curtin has again been recognised as an outstanding provider.\u201d<\/p>\n |
