Lead others to greatness amidst complexity

We're living in a world that's frequently volatile, unexpected and ambiguous. It's essential that current and future business leaders are able to rapidly understand and solve complex problems in a systematic, integrated way.

Success demands the leadership mindset. And with our 'pre-experience' Master of Business Administration (Emerging Leaders), you can start acquiring it immediately after graduating from any bachelor degree-and complete your studies in as little as 12 months.

The Emerging Leaders MBA is part of the Adelaide Business School's MBA suite, and is designed for aspiring leaders and young entrepreneurs looking to fast-track their pathway into business management.

You'll also:

The Master of Business Administration (Emerging Leaders) will prepare you to lead projects, teams and, ultimately, organisations all over the world. You could even take your destiny entirely in your own hands by launching your own business.
