The ‘live’ MBA that adjusts to the changing requirements of work.The UTS Advanced MBA represents a paradigm shift in business education in Australia. The one-year program, co-developed, co-designed and co-delivered in deep collaboration with industry, focuses on the future of work skills: problem solving, critical thinking, digital literacy, communication, collaboration, and leadership.

We leverage our industry links to immerse you in live projects, solving real problems and identifying real opportunities related to digital technologies, through a series of three studio subjects. Each of these are supported by satellite subjects that give you technical, business and people skills you will need to face the challenges associated with the future of work.

And throughout the program, the leadership labs will help you assess your abilities and their impact on others and enable you to track how you have grown and progressed.

The aim of the Advanced MBA is to prepare the future leaders in our organisations to see challenges as opportunities, lead with integrity and empathy and contribute to fairer and flourishing societies.

How the degree works

HOW THE DEGREE WORKSThe UTS Advanced MBA has an innovative and adaptable structure that combines knowledge-developing focused subjects offered in blended mode with three project-based studios that enable customised, experiential learning and intensive industry engagement including coaching and mentoring.

LEADERSHIP LABSYour Advanced MBA is bookended by two Leadership Labs, which focus on assessing and developing your leadership skills, emotional and cultural intelligence and ability to lead a diverse workforce in intensive coaching and mentoring sessions.

SATELLITE SUBJECTSThese blended subjects incorporate a mix of face-to-face teaching in a workshop format, in-class assessments, curated resources, videos, articles, and books and online learning activities.

The satellite subjects introduce you to a range of discipline-specific content including key tools, techniques and methods relevant for each discipline, as well as transdisciplinary concepts and methodologies that are critical in today’s rapidly changing environment:

– Applied Financial Management;

– Philosophy, Politics and Economics;

– Accounting Practices and Tools;

– Delivering Customer Value;

– Innovative Strategies;

– People and the Future of Work;

– Transition Management;

– Sustainable Enterprise in Dynamic Systems;

– Decision Making under Uncertainty;

– Management Technological Disruptions.

STUDIOSThe three Studios focus on the discovery of problems and opportunities, the design of solutions, ideas and new concepts and the development of implementation plans and change management strategies in the context of digital transformations.

The first Studio, Challenge/Opportunity Discovery, introduces you to key methods for analysing mega trends and future scenarios. You will apply a range of problem solving tools and techniques, preparing you with the skills and knowledge needed for the completion of the other two studios. You will also participate in a digital lab, introducing you to a range of digital technologies.

Online UTS Business School has developed state of the art online learning experiences that make optimum use of your time, pinpointing your knowledge gaps and delivering tailored content to meet each student’s individual learning needs.

FEE-HELPFEE-HELP is a government loan scheme that assists eligible local students to pay their tuition fees.

Using FEE-HELP means you do not have to pay for your tuition fees up front. You can inform your employer that you have a FEE-HELP loan and they will withhold your payments through the PAYG tax system.

If your postgraduate degree is related to your employment, your tuition fees may be tax deductible. For more information, contact your financial adviser or the Australian Tax Office (ATO) ato.gov.au
