The new Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Western Sydney’s Sydney Graduate School of Management offers all this and more to position you for business success.
Whether you are climbing the corporate ladder, building your own business or taking a not-for-profit to the next level, the SGSM MBA can help you achieve your aspirations.
“As result of completing the Masters programs, I progressed from middle management to senior management, my salary increased, and the door to opportunities for a CEO role was opened” - Dragan Jancic, National Sales Manager, CT Group
An MBA for today’s business world
Business is changing at the speed of light. So the SGSM MBA has changed as well.
We asked professionals like you what they wanted from an MBA. Armed with this feedback, the course has been redesigned to encompass a much broader scope of disciplines, and to reflect the realities of modern business, so that as you study, you can put what you have learned into practice straight away – supercharging your success.
UWS also recruited an External Advisory Committee (EAC) of experienced business people currently working in Greater Western Sydney. The EAC is involved in ongoing consultation to provide the employers’ perspective on real world trends and challenges affecting business. As a student, you benefit through learning that is absolutely targeted at the skills and knowledge that will make you successful today – not 10 years ago.
“Every subject I have done so far, I touch on at work” - Warrick McLean, General Manager, Coleman Greig Lawyers

Achieving your aspirations
Wherever you are in your professional journey, the Sydney Graduate School of Management at UWS can help take you to the next level.
Even if you’ve never been to university before, SGSM recognises the wealth of knowledge and skills gained through industry or business experience. This recognition of prior learning can offer you a fast-track to the Masters level.
If you have a first degree but it’s been a while since you last studied, we can understand your hesitation – even confident, successful professionals can feel daunted by returning to referencing and assignments. We help ease you back into the swing of things.
And don’t worry if you haven’t studied business before – we help you develop your expertise as you work through the course. You’ll finish your Masters program ready to take on the world.
“It was literally 17 years after I completed my first degree that I enrolled for the MBA” - Ram Pittabiraman, General Manager – Sales and Operations, Paloma Australia Enterprises Ply Ltd
Quality teaching in a flexible package
We know that your life is busy, and you need to balance your career, personal life and other commitments with study. The SGSM MBA has been designed with this in mind.
While most units are offered face-to-face at our Parramatta campus, others incorporate online learning in a blended delivery model. With four quarters during the academic year, you will be able to choose which course you would like to take in each quarter.
The whole MBA program is structured to allow you to still be effective at work while fitting in your study. With classes starting at a sensible time in the evening, you won’t need to leave work early. The library and other facilities are open in the evenings and on the weekends, and our great range of online tools and e-resources mean you can do a lot of your study from home while juggling family and work commitments.
Our dedicated teaching staff has a passion for business, and use their solid industry experience to turn theoretical concepts into practical information grounded in the real world. Our small class sizes mean you won’t just be lost in the crowd, but actually get to know and interact with your fellow students, lecturers and tutors.
