Master of Philosophy in Department of Business Strategy and Innovation (MPHILIBA) at Griffith University

Macquarie's business research is highly regarded both in Australia and internationally. In the most recent Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) evaluation, our economics research received a rating of 'performance at world standard,' as did our research in the sub-disciplines of banking, finance and investment, and business management. The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is an ungraded degree awarded for research that demonstrates that the candidate has made a contribution to knowledge in a particular field of study by presenting new facts or by demonstrating an independent critical ability to evaluate existing material in a new light.

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is designed for experienced professionals with ambition and drive who wish to develop their responsible and sustainable leadership skills. You will gain a holistic strategic business point-of-view required to operate effectively in an increasingly competitive and changing global business world. The course has been designed to cover three stages: Diagnostics, where you learn to diagnose issues in real organisations with a focus on marketing, employee engagement, talent management and accounting. Exploration, where you explore the latest thinking and practices in organisations and research worldwide, while developing skills in innovation and business transformation. Integration and Application, where you develop your strategic decision-making skills, undertake a real-world business project and hone your personal effectiveness as a responsible leader. Your learning approach will include relevant and current case studies as well as guest lectures delivered by industry professionals, with an emphasis on teamwork and peer learning. If you are interested in studying Business but do not have the specified work experience for the MBA, you can consider studying the Master of Business.
