Executive Master of Business Administration

An MBA program to suit your professional career

The September semester for this program will be delivered in a multi-modal format with a mixture of on-campus, mixed mode and remote classes. All students will be able to access Bond’s exceptional, personalised learning experience regardless of their location. For students who are able to attend campus, we are working toward the resumption of face-to-face classes especially for small group instruction such as tutorials, seminars, workshops and lab sessions.

The next available intake for enrolment into the EMBA will be April 2021. Please apply for our April intake or you may wish to consider our MBA program.

The Bond Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA) is structured and offered exclusively to senior managers, executives and business owners who cannot afford to take time out for full-time study but want themselves and their company to reap the benefits of postgraduate education. The program is designed so whether you are local or from interstate you can choose to fly-in fly-out, providing the flexibility and freedom to busy working professionals. An Executive MBA includes an immersive two-week China study tour, exposing you to eastern business culture and highlighting how executives manage challenges in one of the world's fastest emerging markets.

Bond University's Executive MBA was ranked #5 in Australia in the BOSS AFR Executive MBA (EMBA) Rankings 2017.

What our students say

Attending classes on campus for eight days every semester allowed me the opportunity to get to know others as well as fully immerse myself in the learning experience with no distractions. This is the only way I could have accomplished that amount of work in that time. Bond stays relevant to student needs and that's incredibly important for me, given the ever-changing landscape we find ourselves in. It's one of the main reasons I returned to Bond to undertake my Master of Laws in Enterprise Governance. Bond gave me a tremendous opportunity to validate the years of experience and knowledge I had acquired in commercial organisations over the previous two decades.

"[Bond's EMBA] enables me to have much higher conversations in the industry…and start seeing where we can make change, and how we can influence and think outside the square…The guys that went to uni and expanded their mind and worked elsewhere… will always do well because they understand the market and they understand how business works.”

"My work schedule is demanding, but with the way the program is structured, combined with the support from the faculty, I was able to complete the EMBA without it interfering with my work."

“The insight you get from a study tour is something you just can’t learn from reading a textbook or sitting in a classroom. The amount I learnt in one week in Silicon Valley was amazing and I’m still thinking about how I can apply the knowledge and information I gained.”
