- Diversity: We were a class of 40, coming from 13 countries. We all came from diverse industries- consulting, banking, tech, media, healthcare, etc. The average work ex was 5 years, but the range was 2-20 years. Diversity made learning fun & engaging.
- Curriculum: Practical course structure; the course did not focus on rote learning. Each subject had multiple live projects and we worked on them in syndicates. Operations' and Data Analysis' projects were two of the toughest ones!
- Alumni: MBS alums are some of the biggest names in Australia. Since there is no concept of campus placement in Australia, these alums are the primary source of jobs for students. Networking with these alums become extremely easy when you are in MBS.
Dislikes
- Career Support: Not at par with other leading global schools. The career services do help with connecting you to the right resources but do not take the pain of ensuring you get a job. Most top global MBAs work to get you a job. NOT THIS ONE.
- The UniMelb campus is super pretty with victorian architecture, greenery and great infrastructure. However, the MBS building is not as impressive. Its a small building with limited facilities. However, we can always access UniMelb if required
The admission process is simple:
1. Application: There is no fee to apply, unless you are shortlisted. After shortlist, you pay AUD100. I personally liked this since most B-schools charge $100 for applying.
2. GMAT/GRE: You need to get a competitive GMAT score. For Indians, anything above 700 should be fine. The higher you go, the better scholarship you will receive. There is no specific GMAT cutoff. The admission also depends on factors like application round, academics, previous experience, etc. 3. IELTS/PTE: Need a 6.5 or above in IELTS. This is basically a hygiene check. Pro Tip: If you have a high GMAT verbal, you can ask for IELTS waiver from the university. Although, after an admit, you will need to give IELTS for the visa process.
4. Interview: A single round of interview with the career services. It was a pretty casual conversation with basic behaviourial questions. The call was focused on setting realistic expectations from the MBA.
