What is an online MBA?

An online MBA in Australia allows professionals to study and obtain an MBA entirely online. They follow a similar structure and include the same coursework as an in-person MBA, but the lessons are delivered online. That means you can study from anywhere in the world and schedule your learning around your existing commitments.��

At AGSM, our online MBAs are called MBAX programs and include eight specialisations (with the option to complete a generalist program) to suit your interests and career aspirations. The ‘X’ in MBAX represents the opportunity to specialise.��The ‘X’ will not appear on your official university academic transcripts or graduation testamur.��

Our Executive MBA can also be studied mostly online, accommodating the needs of busy professionals. All AGSM programs incorporate online elements to provide a comprehensive and accessible learning experience.
