MBA success stories
"The insight provided by my peers was often just as valuable as the content delivered by the academic staff, and was a major source of my personal and professional learning.” - Grant Joy
“For me, a non-negotiable when looking for an MBA program was the face-to-face component. I wanted it for the interaction and network I’d develop during the process. I can’t recommend a face-to-face MBA enough." - Helen Barker
“My MBA studies really helped me understand and develop my skills and network well beyond my initial background and experience, providing me with the leadership tools and ability to apply my critical thinking across any industry.”
- Jamie Ford
"I knew my UQ MBA was going to open doors – I didn’t realise it would happen so soon. Even though I hadn’t yet graduated, I had already developed the skills and the confidence to step up to a general management position."
- Tim Kuusik
