Become a leader of the future
An ECU MBA provides future leaders with the ability to respond to situations in contemporary organisations by developing problem-solving and high level interpersonal and relational skills.
ECU School of Business and Law Executive Dean, Professor Maryam Omari states that as more is expected of leaders, it is clear a transformational level of investment in leadership development is needed.
"Should companies wish to boost productivity, performance and improve their "culture" – there is an amazing resource right here on your doorstep corporate Australia – it's time to enrol in an MBA."
A plethora of benefits
The ECU MBA has propelled graduates to succeed in a wide variety of leadership and management roles.
Senior Manager at a Fortune 500 company, Lisa Pascoe said that she could never have envisaged just how positive an impact ECU's MBA would have on all facets of her life.
"Formalised learnings opened my mind to new ways of approaching everyday workplace challenges. Incidental learnings opened my eyes to a world of opportunities," she said.
Chairperson at a Not-For-Profit Organisation, Janine Wood said that her ECU MBA helped her transform her organisation into a well-balanced, well-run operation.
"The positive impact and transformation it had on me personally and within the culture of the business cohort, has helped me manage rapid growth and respond to industry demands in a professional and practical manner."
Access, authenticity and autonomy
Ngambo Flora Kabalata is a current MBA student who chose the program after a career in financial services, to strengthen her existing skills and acquire new ones.
"The learning is not centred around a textbook. It is about challenging today, reflecting on the past and building for the future," she said.
Along with flexibility and professional development opportunities, ECU’s MBA offers 16 specialisations like People and Culture, Cybersecurity, Business Analytics and more for a bespoke learning journey.
"Access, authenticity and autonomy is what I love about my ECU experience," Ngambo said.
"I have access to my lecturers, and I can catch up with them when needed. I can be myself and at the same time experience others from different cultures.
"I have choice on how I take my classes. Even though I'm a full-time international student, I have the flexibility of taking my classes as normal or as an intensive weekend delivery mode combined with online classes."
