Most postgraduate courses at ECU are available to anyone with a Bachelor degree. We also highly value professional experience - many coursework courses, including the MBA, are available to people who have significant professional experience appropriate to the discipline but do not possess a Bachelor degree or equivalent.

Student Profiles
Anna Thisainayajan, Australia
MBA graduate
"ECU's MBA helped me to critically reflect on workplace experiences and create practical business solutions. To stay competitive in business, I wanted to gain current thinking in leadership and management, but it was important that I be able to continue working full time. ECU's combination of online research facilities, supportive lecturers and evening classes made ECU's MBA an easy choice for me. Each unit encouraged critical thinking and practical application of the theory to workplace environments. The knowledge I've gained from my ECU MBA has positively contributed to my most recent achievement, running a workshop at the 2009 Government Contact Centre Summit in Sydney."
