QUT ranked 195 in the World University Rankings in 2007, the rankings were released by The Times Higher Education Supplement. QUT is also ranked 10 in the Australian Universities National Ranking in 2007. This was compiled by the Melbourne Institute which is an applied economic and social research centre under the University of Melbourne.[2]
BGSB is accredited by EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB. Triple accreditation is held by less than 35 schools around the globe.[3] BGSB was the first Queensland business school to be included in the Financial Times Top 100 Global MBA programs. In January 2004, it was ranked 3rd in Australia and 82nd overall.[4]
[edit] Master of Business Administration
The MBA program is delivered in seven week teaching periods and there are six in a calendar year. The MBA can be completed in one calendar year full-time or two calendar years part-time. Students study a broad range of core units and may concentrate in a particular area with their elective options.[5] The Graduate Certificate of Business Administration can be completed in two teaching periods full-time or four teaching periods part-time. Students who complete the the GCBA can articulate into the MBA.
[edit] Doctor of Business Administration
The Doctor of Business Administration program consists of units from the MBA program followed by units in research methodology and several research projects. The DBA differs from the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by incorporating a practical, business focus to the research and courework components.[6]
[edit] Master of Business Programs
The Masters of Business program is delivered on a 13 week, semester basis and can be completed in 18 months. The Master of Business is for students that want to study a particular discipline, such as accountancy, advertising, or applied finance.[7] From 2009, a more flexible approach to learning will take place by offering a combined offering of internal contact hours, online studies and internal intensive study for some units.
Students may articulate from the Graduate Certificate in Business, which takes one semester full-time to complete, to the Master of Business. Students may also articulate to the Master of Business (Advanced) program, which takes one semester full-time equivalent study to complete in addition to the Master of Business.
[edit] Articulation
Students who enter either the MBA or Master of Business programs may exit with a a Graduate Certificate after approximately one semester full-time equivalent study. Students may also articulate from the Graduate Certificate program to the Masters and then the advanced Masters or MBA (Major) with full advanced standing (credit).
