Admission 

To apply for a place in the part-time Melbourne MBA, you will need to satisfy the entry requirements. If you are unable to satisfy the requirements for the MBA, you may be eligible for entry into another degree or diploma offered by the School, in particular the Postgraduate Diploma of Management (PDM), and should contact the Admissions Office for further advice. Many students who begin study at the School with the PDM go on to complete an MBA.
