Situated in the world's most liveable city, according to a 2016 study by the Economist, Melbourne Business School (MBS) is one of Asia-Pacific’s most reputable business schools, on the basis of QS’s most recent regional MBA rankings. The school is about to transform its Carlton campus, aiming to place state-of-the-art learning facilities at an arm's length from Melbourne's premier knowledge district and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The College of Business and Economics at the Australian National University (ANU) is situated minutes away from the heart of Canberra and offers an MBA course that is designed to facilitate a good level of interaction among participants, with between 20 to 60 individuals in each class or seminar.

Monash Business School
