Professional peers

Melbourne EMBA participants learn from their peers. Working in talented teams and debating issues with others from a wide range of professional, business and industry backgrounds is a key dynamic.

Image EMBA-class2.jpgEMBA participants come from many industry, professional and academic backgrounds, and have experience of living and working in many countries. The residential and work locations of past EMBA participants include United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Fiji, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, United States and number of cities in Australia.

Our goal is to bring together a class with diverse experiences - to understand different contexts and to see other perspectives. Executives need this type of broad perspective. However, all students have common attributes - they are highly motivated and successful individuals. Each one has been chosen because of his or her ability to contribute actively to the learning experience of the group. For this reason, we look for curious, versatile and stimulating team players who will "add value" to the group.
