    This degree is designed for professionals with at least 3 years of work experience.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    To be eligible to apply for the full-time MBA, you need to have:

    • a minimum of three years of relevant work experience; and 
    • a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 65 or equivalent in your undergraduate degree. 

    If English is not your first language, you will also need to provide evidence of English language proficiency.

    Admission pathways
    If your academic record does not meet the above criteria, a GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) score of 600+ may be required.

    We are happy to consider applicants without a first degree who have an excellent career record. Candidates with no first degree but with substantial managerial experience are advised that GMAT 600+ may be required.

    We consider each case holistically and on an individual basis. We look for evidence of communication skills; interpersonal skills; leadership skills; team-building skills; integrity and ethics; initiative; cross-cultural sensitivity; motivation and commitment.

    Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
    GMAT is a standardised admissions test used by the world's leading business schools. The test score gives us additional information to compare applications from around the world in an objective way. We take into consideration country or regional norms in the distribution of GMAT and GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) scores and compare scores within industry sectors. While GMAT is not a specific requirement for candidates who meet our other admission criteria, students with GMAT scores within the target range will be more likely to receive an offer for entry into the program. You need to have a balanced score on all parts of the GMAT. You should aim for a score of 600+. Although we do not specify a minimum, we are highly unlikely to admit a candidate with a score below 500. 

    How to apply

    In order to complete your application online you will need the following documentation:

    • Your academic qualification details, for example, completion year and grade average
    • Your employment history/professional details
    • A statement of motivation (maximum two pages) outlining:
      • what you hope to achieve professionally and personally by completing the full-time MBA (Leadership and Enterprise) at the University of Sydney Business School
      • academic achievements
      • community involvement and extracurricular activities
      • leadership qualities
      • awards and recognition.

    If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please provide details of this in your statement of motivation. 

    If the results of your previous study aren’t available by the closing date, you can still submit an application. Your application will be considered, providing you forward the relevant results once they become available.

    Interview

    Shortlisted applicants for the full-time MBA will be required to attend a selection interview establishing the candidate's suitability. These interviews take place in the month following the application deadline.
