Application process/apply now

Admissions

The School accepts approximately 40 people for the EMBA program each year.

Applications for the October 2009 intake close on the 31 July, 2009.

The School makes continuous offers, so applications may be submitted at any time during the year and may close prior to the application deadline if all available places are filled.

The Selection Committee normally makes final decisions on complete applications within two weeks of receipt of completed applications.

Applications

To apply for a place in the EMBA program applicants will need to complete the application form indicating:

  • An undergraduate degree. This does not need to be in a business or commerce related discipline. Evidence of this degree is required in the form of fully certified academic transcripts. A copy of a degree certificate is not sufficient. Prospective students without formal tertiary qualifications should contact the EMBA office to discuss their options.
  • Your resume or curriculum vitae indicating a minimum of ten years full-time work experience normally gained after graduating from an undergraduate degree. This experience can be in any organisation or industry, but your track record should show continuous professional progression or development.
  • The names and contact details (phone and email) of two referees (do not include open references).
  • Considered responses to questions about yourself and your goals in support of your application.

Essential supporting materials

  • A completed Melbourne Business School Application Form.
  • A suitably verified transcript of all your academic records detailing all subjects undertaken and results (a copy of a graduation certificate is not sufficient). Please ensure all photocopies are correctly certified by a University Administrator, Justice of the Peace, lawyer, pharmacist, doctor or police officer.
  • The names and contact details (phone and email) of two referees (do not include open references).
  • Your curriculum vitae.
  • Evidence of your citizenship or residency status in the form of a certified copy of your passport or birth certificate.
  • Original or certified copy of GMAT results, if requested.

Applications will be processed as soon as all materials are received.

Successful applicants

Melbourne Business School understands that awaiting the decision of the Selection Committee can be stressful. We therefore respond to applications as quickly as possible, normally within two weeks of receiving a complete application.

A formal Letter of Offer is sent to successful applicants detailing the Terms and Conditions of the offer and setting a deadline by which it must be accepted. The deadline is normally about four weeks from the date of the Letter of Offer.

Unsuccessful applications

Unsuccessful applicants are notified in writing. The School appreciates that considerable time and effort are required to apply for a place in the program and that it is disappointing to submit an unsuccessful application. However, the School regrets that it is not able to comment on specific factors that may have led to the final decision of the Selection Committee.

Information sessions

We encourage prospective students to visit the School and meet with EMBA staff. A program of information sessions is run throughout the year in Melbourne, Sydney and other locations. Interview appointments (either at the school or over the phone) are also available. For further information please contact the EMBA office: Tel +61 3 9349 8413 or email emba@mbs.edu.
