Make a difference
'As Head of Communications at The Fred Hollows Foundation, I lead a team to tell the life-changing stories of Professor Fred Hollows and the work of The Fred Hollows Foundation to treat blindness and vision impairment in resource-challenged environments. QUT’s Executive MBA gave me tools to unpack the high degree of interconnectivity and complexity I face working for an international NGO.'

Flexible study
'I run a business and have a young family, so time is precious in my household. The Executive MBA has been designed with an executive lifestyle in mind—you come onto campus for three days of the month and then use a hybrid learning structure for the remainder of the program. I wouldn't have been able to undertake the program without this hybrid approach.'
Executive Director, Personified
Experienced cohort
'I knew my learning style would better suit a more engaged program with a consistent cohort of students, which is why I chose QUT’s Executive MBA in Canberra. The connections I have made have been invaluable. It’s essentially given me my own advisory board that I can call on to talk through challenges. The Canberra program attracts an experienced cohort and completing the intensive program together built a strong bond between us.'
Branch Manager, Cleanaway Waste Management South East Queensland
Valuable connections
'The highlight of the Executive MBA was the people. In every instance, when you undertake to transform your life, it is imperative that you surround yourself with the best of the best and then to trust them. The calibre of those I have met along my EMBA journey have influenced and shaped me, as well as connected me to new opportunities (personal and professional). The leadership, admin teams, lecturers and alumni are inspired and engaged and teach me every day.'
CEO, Lifeline Canberra
Flexible delivery
