Bond University’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) is one of the top MBA programs in Australia according to the 2011 Financial Review BOSS MBA rankings.
The Bond MBA, offered through the Bond Business School, ranks eighth on the list of 19 featured MBA programs.
Bond University Dean of the Bond Business School, Professor Mark Hirst says the University’s small class sizes and personalised approach attributed to this success.
“Much of the student feedback centred on our class sizes, our internationally diverse student groups, first-class academics and excellent teaching,” said Professor Hirst.
“Of course, our fantastic location and facilities has a lot to do with the result as well.”
“We are very proud of the results which reflect our ongoing mission to make the Bond MBA a globally recognised qualification.”
The 2011 Financial Review BOSS MBA survey ranks Australia’s top MBA programs based on a survey of alumni plus data from a questionnaire sent to participating business schools.
The rankings also placed Bond University’s program second in the ‘most satisfied with school' category, a true testament to the student experience, according to Bond University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Robert Stable.
“The results of these rankings demonstrate the value of a Bond MBA,” said Professor Stable.
“With leading academics in both leadership and management and a course structure conducive to creating corporate leaders, the most satisfied with school ranking speaks for itself.”
