Master of Business Administration (MBA) (114579J)

The Master of Business Administration degree (MBA), has become one of the most coveted degrees in the workplace. It is for both career changers and the ambitious, often the key to leadership and that next promotion. According to Forbes (2019), 59% of Fortune 100 CEOs have an MBA. VIT launched its Online MBA program in 2018 and face to face onshore in Australia in late 2020. Being a new degree program means we have been able to incorporate the latest management theory and industry knowledge into our curriculum. Many of our lecturers are industry experts and teach at other universities. So, you are assured of getting access to the same quality education. We understand that the MBA is ultimately an investment to advance your goal of getting a new job, or that promotion, or career change. Non specialisation MBA degrees can lead to a lot of flexible career paths such as banking and finance, management consultancy, consumer brands (e.g. P&G, Unilever) and IT (e.g. Amazon, Afterpay). Those who specialise might have their sights set on industries they are already in. For example, a hotel employee doing an MBA specialisation in tourism and hospitality might have their eye on one day becoming general manager of their hotel. Our teaching staff support you throughout your degree to help you understand the job market, where the current opportunities are and what strategies will help you.
