Open Universities Australia - MBA

Open Universities Australia (OUA) provides open and flexible access to quality Australian tertiary education internationally. Through OUA, you can study online from leading Australian universities, anytime, anywhere. You can enjoy the same learning experience and study toward the same qualification as an on-campus student.

About Us

With over 18 years experience, OUA is the national leader in online higher education, enrolling over 200,000 students since 1993. Our students come from over 89 countries around the globe. OUA provides open and flexible access to quality tertiary education. You can choose from over 1400 units and 170 qualifications taught by more than 20 leading universities and other tertiary education providers around Australia in disciplines such as arts, humanities and social sciences, business, education, health, information technology, law, and science.

Credible and a global perspective
If you complete a degree through OUA, you will graduate from the university offering the course and your qualification will be identical to that awarded to an on-campus student. The highly regarded units and courses offered through OUA provide a global perspective that gives graduates a competitive advantage in the world marketplace that can boost their employment prospects across diverse industries.

Flexible study
OUA started with the idea that one education system does not fit all. Our flexible approach makes OUA an ideal way to complete your studies from anywhere in the world. All academic materials are designed for distance education and they are accessible online or delivered by post. For most courses, there are no scheduled classes in a lecture room. You can study when and where it suits you and you'll never worry about missing a lecture again. In addition, you do not need a visa to study through OUA. You can complete a whole degree through OUA, or study only a few units to complete a professional accreditation. With four study periods each academic year, you can fast track a degree or schedule study around your work and personal commitments.

Accessible
OUA enables you to study and take exams from anywhere in the world and offers the choice to graduate in Australia. International students and Australian students overseas can save on living costs by studying from the country they are located in. You do not have to worry about distance, time or entry-level requirements (for most undergraduate courses). OUA offers bridging units in academic literacy and study skills, mathematics and science, IELTS preparation courses and Vocational Education and Training (TAFE). Do not let your previous educational background limit your potential - explore your study options with one of our dedicated Student Advisors.

Student Services

We make every effort to support students on their study journey. OUA's Student Advisors offer friendly, professional and supportive assistance with enrolment and developing study programs. As an OUA student, you can also access resources including Quick Skills modules and online tutorial support to help you gain necessary academic skills such as writing, researching, referencing and critical thinking. Online study groups also allow you to connect with other students studying the same units. You can communicate, discuss assignments and interact freely with OUA students in other countries.

Online Master of Business Administration-MBA (Executive)
OUA together with RMIT provides an online Master of Business Administration-MBA (Executive). The program offers flexible delivery of RMIT's well-known and long-standing MBA program to suit your busy lifestyle as a working professional. With RMIT's 30 years of experience in teaching MBA courses, this program combines general management skills and international business. With a focus on solving real world issues, this provides an opportunity to complement on-the-job experience with integrated and practical learning, and increases your options for career progression.

The world of business is changing rapidly and requires future leaders to provide solutions that have a flexible and innovative approach.

The program is delivered primarily online with the initial unit (Global Business Context) and the final unit (Implementing Strategy) delivered partially as intensive residential over 4 to 5 days.
