You’re a high achieving senior executive with a commitment to continuous learning and looking for a flexible way to develop as a leader. This program allows you to maintain your busy working life and put in time to invigorate and broaden your management skills.

You learn to sharpen your problem solving capability and strategic thinking in a collegiate setting alongside peers who are also top of their game. Benefit from the latest in business thinking offered by USC teaching staff and external organisations.

In addition to learning within a cohort, the program uses computer-based simulations and problem solving activities to challenge skills, attitudes and beliefs. The program covers management issues relevant to both the public and private sectors and enables you to work on competencies in areas such as financial management, economics and marketing.

The EMBA is delivered flexibly with intensive weekend classes once a month for two years. To be considered for admission, you must have at least five years senior managerial work experience and attend an interview.

Program delivery mode

The EMBA is delivered on campus at USC on one weekend each month across approximately 22 months. For the assigned weekends students will need to be available to attend classes as follows:

DayTime
Friday 9am–4.30pm
Saturday 9am–4.30pm
Sunday 9am–4.30pm

The EMBA program commences in Semester 1 for the first year of study, and continue each month until December. After a short break at the end of the year, the program will re-commence in Semester 1.

Each weekend of delivery combines two or three courses so that delivery of a single course is not concentrated in one weekend. In addition, exams are conducted progressively throughout the scheduled weekends, not at a separate time. Due to this intensive delivery mode you are able to gain a real sense of achievement and progress.

Career Opportunities

This program equips you for high level leadership roles in Australia and internationally and develops executive skills to manage complex challenges in private business or government.
