About the university
UQ Business School's MBA is an 18-month, full-time programme - the most rigorous entry on this list, requiring GMAT 550+ (mandatory, the only school here with this requirement) and a minimum of 4 years' work experience (including 2 years supervisory). Brisbane offers 25-30% lower living costs than Sydney.
Documents required
Bachelor's degree (any discipline at most schools; GPA thresholds vary); minimum 2-4 years of work experience depending on school; GMAT required only at UQ (minimum 550) - not required at Sydney, Macquarie, UWA, RMIT, or UTS, though Melbourne Business School strongly recommends it (average 695); IELTS 6.5-7.0 or equivalent TOEFL/PTE; CV/resume; Statement of Purpose; 2 Letters of Recommendation; passport copy. A 3-year Indian bachelor's degree is generally accepted at all schools on this list.
